Excellent Chinese trousse
Sometimes elegance comes in small packages. I wanted to share a Chinese trousse that by materials used and quality overall could date to the 18th century. The chopsticks are ivory and silver tipped and comes with a ivory handled fork with steel tines. The lovely tassel with jade slide. The mounts on the scabbard are silver of good quality. The blade is very sharp with a rare and lovely horsetooth pattern along the edge. Enjoy!
