Subject:Qianlong Cloisonne Imperial Box?
Posted By: Dave Wittly Wed, Jan 07, 2015 IP: 96.55.98.63
Hi guys,

First time posting. I recently got a Cloisonne piece and I'm unsure of authenticity. I believe it maybe real. I have found a few pieces with similarities.

I forgot to upload images, here they are.

Replica pieces in antique styles of cloisonne are a long-standing tradition, often for purposes of chicanery, but often also because the old pieces are attractive and worth replicating.

Pretty much goes for any art form, of course.

In the link is a video of the Beijing Enamel Company replicating a museum vase. One has to skip to about 3:00 to avoid the ads and intro.

The reason I'm doubtful about it being a replica is that the original owner purchased it in the 1940's.

So is this a replica then?

Are there more pictures of the top and bottom of the box? I can only see two pictures of the sides.

As to replicas...recently I acquired a flyer dated 1935 from the "Teh Hsing Cheng" cloisonne shop on Hatamen Street, east of the Legation Quarter in Peking (then called Peiping, the capital having been moved to Nanking). It contains this interesting statement about the originator of the company and his doings in the 1860s:

"As at that time, the cloisonné ware was very rare on the market, Mr. Chia sold his product for a good price, especially to the high officials who used to take them as the old curios of Ming Dynasty."
