A particularly interesting filigree silver
card case that comes with its original
silk covered box [see below right]. The
most interesting feature of this case
though is the very unusual label
attached to the box lid. Khecheong was
one of the oldest “shops” in Canton,
but this is the first instance of the
name appearing as Khechong
[Khecheoung] Ming. While it is almost
certainly the same Khecheong. further
research isa now ongoing to verify the
addition of “Ming” to the name. It could
well be a branch shop belonging to a
relative of Khecheong - a very common
occurrence with retail shops of the
time.
