Description:
19th century Chinese silver belt comprised of silver discs with Chinese characters and dragon motifs. Marked. 90 silver. Length 82 cm. Weight 159g. note: We understand from the vendor that in 1860-1890 a Royal Navy Officer and family member, Captain Tilly, came to the Pacific on the hallmarked sterling Cordelia as a sub left tenant. The family believes that Tilly visited china in the 1850s, and this Chinese silver belt was in the family collection
