Created using the shadowbox technique a row of silver flowers and leaves elegantly circles the wrist in this early 20th c. Chinese bangle bracelet. The floral and foliate motifs are set against a dramatically oxidized background visible through the openings in the cut-work and they are enhanced with hand-etched details. Quite often antique hollow bangles make it to us scarred with the experiences of a long life but the example at hand is unscathed, its beauty glowing with the patina of time and the secret memories it keeps stored within it. Having an inner circumference of 7 3/4" (2 1/2" inner diameter) the bracelet is 1/4" wide and weighs 12.2 grams. It is hallmarked "SILVER" and also bears what I am assuming is the workshop's identification code as shown. It dates ca 1900 and is in excellent vintage condition with carefully cut-out designs, its oxidation in great shape, beautifully finished, with warm patina and no damage and no repairs noted.
