Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, light surface scratches, small dents, some inlays missing.Weight: 3,643 g and 3,649 g Dimensions: Size 32.7 x 45.5 cm (each)Expert's note: The parcel-gilt silver frames date from circa 1780-1880 and boast a superb quality of craftsmanship as well as an inspired design, the neatly inlaid semi-precious stones adding further to their singularity, overall indicating the possibility of an imperial connection.The camellia is native to China where it has a rich national history, particularly in the southwest region. In Chinese belief, it represents the union between two lovers. The delicately layered petals represent the woman, and the calyx (the green leafy part of the stem that holds the petals together) represents the man who protects her. The pomegranate with its many seeds is viewed as a symbol of having multiple sons who are expected to continue the family line. The pairing of camellia and pomegranate thus represents a wish for a happy marriage with many offspring.Literature comparison:Compare a blue and white bianhu vase with camellia motif, dated to the Yongle period, in the Shanghai Museum, ID number CI00000173. Compare a blue and white bowl painted with pomegranates in the center, with a Xuande mark and of the period, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1991.253.39.明代一對石榴與茶花陶瓷掛屏中國，瓷屏十五至十六世紀，清代鎏銀屏框。瓷板成扇形，青花繪製，一面是纏枝石榴紋，另一面是纏枝茶花紋。鑲銀框，框上有麒麟掛扣，銀框鑲嵌碧璽和藍寶石。(4) 來源：歐洲私人收藏。 品相：狀況極好，有輕微磨損與表面劃痕、小凹痕、一些鑲嵌物缺失。 重量：分別爲3,643克與3,649克 尺寸：分別爲32.7 x 45.5 厘米 專家注釋：鎏銀框的年代約為 1780-1880 年，精湛的工藝和設計，整齊鑲嵌的寶石增加了獨特性，很可能為御用。 文獻比較： 比較一件永樂景德鎮窯青花山茶紋扁壺，藏於上海博物館，編號CI00000173。比較一件宣德款及年代石榴紋青花碗，收藏於大都會藝術博物館，館藏編號1991.253.39。
