Adrien von Ferscht; Wang Hing & Co. – Canton
Wang Hing originated as a jade dealer in Canton and evolved to become the best known and most prolific maker of export silver during the late China Trade period. The firm later opened a flagship store in Hong Kong in 1920.
We thank Dr Adrien von Ferscht for his assistance with identifying silver marks and sharing research findings from his ongoing research into Qing dynasty and Republic of China era decorative silver.
