Provenance - The owner and her family lived in Singapore in the late 1950s. The collection includes antique Chinese porcelain, jade and furniture her father bought from shops in Orchard Road, Singapore around 1955-59.

The porcelain plaque has been cemented into the European birds eye maple frame, so we are unable to examine the very outer edge on the front of the plaque. On the back of the plaque you can see the cement around the edge and there are a couple of corner brackets where we are unable to inspect the corners but the porcelain plaque we can see, there is no apparent damage. No visible chips, cracks or restoration
