Description

A Chinese Export silver perfume flask.

This perfume flask was made by Luen Wo – one of the best Chinese Export silversmiths

The whole perfume is closely worked with flowering chrysanthemums.

Look carefully and there is still some of the original gilding – the centre of each flower was gilded with gold – extra special.

Chrysanthemums symbolise  devoted love, loyalty, happiness, longevity, and joy.

The must have been a gift for one extra special lady.
