Buyer's Premium:

A Chinese White Metal Filigree Ornate Dragon-Decorated Pendant Necklace with Hanging Ornaments.

The pendant is of crescent form, suspended from linked chains with butterfly-shaped connectors, and worked in Chinese white metal. The front is richly decorated in high relief with a pair of confronting dragons amidst floral sprays and scrolling foliage, centred around a raised blossom motif.

The lower edge is adorned with an elaborate series of suspended pendants, including bell-shaped drops, bead elements, and finely worked tassel-like ornaments, all attached by small chains, creating a dense and intricate fringe.

The reverse is plain and slightly hammered, bearing a stamped four-character Chinese mark reading “李记银铺” (Li Ji Silver Shop), indicating a maker’s or retailer’s mark.
