Page 516 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht
P. 516
One of the most dramatic
cheroot cases I’ve ever
seen, this end of the 19th
century Luen Hing piece
is pure genius.
A single applied high
relief dragon begins life
on the cover and
continues to the under
side against a planished
ground that perfectly
compliments and
enhances the drama of
the dragon.
One point of interest:
Chinese cigarette and
cheroot cases often
opened from the left to
right.
The interior is parcel
gilded.
