Some extra information about the maker I found online:
Active in the late 19th Century,
Tuck Chang
is undoubtedly the most popular retail silversmith of Shanghai, thus often referred to as the ‘Wang Hing of Shanghai’.
Like
Wang Hing
, the firm also traded in jade, ivory and jewellery.
Tuck Chang
relied on several artisans to keep up with the demand of silver trophies, souvenirs, tea sets and high quality gift items required by the international resident community of Shanghai.
Despite the large number of items produced, the company managed to maintain very high quality standards and innovative designs, aware of the most recent western trends.
He created a style other than that of Canton and Hong Kong, combining Chinese traditional motifs and western taste, fusing the Victorian and the Chinese style and later embracing and reinterpreting the Art Deco models.
Worldwide insured shipping. I take great care in safely wrapping my items.
I am a 24 year old collector of antique silver from the Netherlands. Sometimes I want to refresh my collection and therefore I offer items for sale here on eBay.
All items have been carefully selected by me in the past. I always do my best to describe the items as best as possible.
I love meeting new collectors and dealers. If you have any questions regarding the items or my collection of silver in general, do not hesitate to ask!
