Important Tian-Tsui Antique Chinese 3 Kingfisher Hair Pins

Item Details

Description

Rare antique Chinese three hair pins made from laying kingfisher bird feathers on silver. The technique and the beautiful blue fluorescent feathers were highly prized and sought after in 19th century China.Kingfishers are tiny birds and it takes a lot of skill to use their feathers in this manner. The technique, called Tian-Tsui, means ?dotting with kingfishers? and involves adhering the feathers onto metal. This technique disappeared during the Chinese Revolution in the 1940 s. Lot professionally framed in display box. Size: 19 5/8" x 19 3/4". ~~. Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
