A pair of export silver vases by Luen Wo, Shanghai, early 20th Century.

Trumpet shaped, decorated with water lillies and brids above wave formations. Mounted on chinese wooden stands. Height with stands 24,5 cm.

Wear.

Provenance

Luen Wo was a prominent silversmith that operated from various premises in Nanking Road in Shanghai in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. (Nanking Road – or Nanjing Road as it is known today – was then, as its is now, Shanghai’s business shopping road.) The firm was prolific and each piece is invariably of a high quality. It also traded in other items such as diamonds and jewellery.
