Our catalogue > Chinese Export Silver

Presented here are antique silver items produced in China for export. Large quantities of silver articles were made in southeastern China for export in the 19th and early 20th centuries but in curating this page, we have sought to present only the highest quality examples of Chinese Export Silver.

All items are sourced from within the UK, often from old, colonial-era & other private collections.
