Mid-Century Chinese 'Cinnabar Style' Necklace and Bangle featuring a Vintage Chinese export wood core, red lacquer jewellery set comprising a 65cm long hand knotted strand of hand-carved spherical beads each 18mm in diameter, featuring carved peonies (symbolising prosperity and honour) and scrolling foliage. The necklace closes with a decorative oval gilt brass clasp detailed with a central flower and it weighs 64.3g. The necklace is accompanied by a matching 1.6cm wide, glossy red carved lacquer bangle, 20cm internal measurement with continuous carved peonies and foliage around the exterior and weighing 34.7g.
This classic mid-20th century (likely 1960s) Chinese lacquerware set is made in the traditional 'cinnabar' style (multiple hand carved layers of deep vermilion lacquer built up over a wood core). The vibrant red symbolises good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. The pieces show good craftsmanship with consistent carving depth and glossy finish.
Note: Modern 'cinnabar' jewellery is typically safe layered lacquer/resin.
