Hilltribe betel box - Li Yong Xing 李永興 - China

[EN] A charming antique Chinese solid fine silver lidded box (dating from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic period, circa 1900–1940). This tactile circular box is beautifully hand-crafted from high-purity fine silver, which was traditionally reserved for premium domestic wares. Hallmarks & Authenticity: The underside of the base features a clear, crisp incised double hallmark: 1. „足銀“ (Zu Yin): The traditional Chinese mark guaranteeing "pure silver" / fine silver (99.9% purity). 2. „李永興“ (Li Yong Xing): The specific artisan workshop or master silversmith's signature stamp. Design & Decoration: Both the body and the matching cover are completely embellished with an intricate, multi-tiered concentric hobnail or beaded repoussé design. The hundreds of tiny raised silver beads create a beautiful texture and catch the light perfectly against the aged silver fields. Specifications: - Purity: 99.9% Fine Silver (Tested and Guaranteed) - Diameter: 4.5 cm - Height: 3.5 cm - Weight: 32.00 grams Condition: In excellent antique condition. The box is structurally sound with no splits, holes, or restoration work. The friction-fit lid opens and closes securely as intended. The silver retains a gorgeous, untouched dark oxidation patina in the recesses, highlighting the magnificent hand-stamped repoussé details. Please see the high-resolution images for a closer look. [NL] Een charmant antiek Chinees massief fijnzilveren doosje met deksel (ca. 1900-1940). Dit verfijnde ronde doosje is met de hand vervaardigd uit puur zilver van de hoogste kwaliteit.

Decoratie & Staat: Zowel de korpus als het deksel zijn gedecoreerd met een zeer fijn en dicht handgedreven noppendecor (beaded repoussé). - Diameter: 4,5 cm | Hoogte: 3,5 cm - Gewicht: 32,00 gram puur zilver.
