Page 422 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

Kwan Wo did seem to have a passion
for boxes of any kind. This lobed box
has been created from extremely heavy
gauge silver and is exquisitely
d e c o r a t e d w i t h a h i g h r e l i e f
chrysanthemum motif against a hand-
planished ground.

With just this small collection of Kwan
Wo items, one can easily see the
diversity the Kwan Wo store must have
had to offer.
