HE XING
Singapore
circa 1880-1920
A Chinese silversmith operating in
Singapore. Intricate reticulated items were
his speciality. While the quality id
unquestionably high, the gauge of silver
used is not as heavy as that generally used
in mainland China.
This circa 1895-1910 reticulated box is one
such example of highly intricate fretwork.
