This beautiful antique 900 silver wine bottle coaster is a fine representation of Chinese export silver circa late 19th century to early 20th century. Made by the noted silversmith Luen Hing. Luen Hing was an important retail silversmith circa 1880-1920, selling luxury goods, particularly silver, which were hotly desired by middle and upper class members of Chinese society.

From the style we believe this to be cusp of the century; certainly the central motifs bear strong Art Nouveau influences, with lovely whiplash lines and floral motifs. The pair of mandarin ducks suggests romantic bliss and harmony; the sides of the coaster too are intricately worked with bamboo motifs. 

Incredibly well crafted with each detail carefully considered; an elegant piece that would serve equally well paired with contemporary or antique surroundings.
