Lot of 3 Chinese celestial deities medals, red engraved decorative box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of three Chinese-inspired medals, presented in a rigid box with a textured red finish and a white fabric-lined interior. Each circular medal features a finely engraved scene depicting traditional figures associated with Chinese celestial deities. The motifs include standing figures surrounded by symbolic elements, such as clouds, stylized animals, and natural settings, characteristic of Far Eastern iconography.

The medals have a metallic visual appearance with a dark finish and lighter reliefs that highlight the engraved details. The contours are sharp, and the scenes are rich in decorative elements, including traditional clothing, accessories, and inscriptions in Chinese characters, although no text is perfectly legible in the photo.

The rectangular box is designed to hold the three medals side by side, each housed in an individual slot on an interior red fabric support. The lid is lined with light fabric and opens with two small metal clasps visible on the top. The ensemble suggests a meticulous presentation, ideal for display or storage.

The visible side of the medals shows light wear consistent with occasional handling, with no apparent major defects. The engravings remain clear and retain good sharpness, while the entire box appears generally clean. The texture of the red box and the meticulous finish of the medals add an elegant decorative touch.
