拍場告示
Further inspection of the French gilt bronze mounts show clear evidence of a traditional mercury-gilding. There are no traces of any silver soldering, which was not used in combination with bronze until the 19th century. The intricate construction and skilful treatment with all individual parts burnished separately before soldering to one-another, identify this as the work of an ‘orfèvre’, i.e. a goldsmith rather than a bronzier, and allow a dating of the mounts to the first half of the 18th century.
