Brief introduction of Chengdu silver flower silk production technology:

Applicant: Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province

The production of gold and silver ware in Chengdu was quite developed in the Qin and Han Dynasties. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it had formed a certain scale. Among them, the production of Silver Filigree was the most outstanding, with a history of more than 2000 years. The technique of silver flower silk is famous for its flat filling, exquisite workmanship and unique shape, showing strong national characteristics and unique local style. Silver silk products mainly include traditional ornaments such as bottles, plates, lavender, tripods and boxes, and ornaments such as hairpins, rings and bracelets. In recent years, new varieties such as "silver silk painting" have been developed. With silver as the material, Chengdu Silver Filigree production technology uses filigree and carving, filling, base, threading, rubbing, welding and other techniques to meticulously produce various handicrafts according to the design requirements. The finished products have high artistic and collection value.
