Description as in the auction catalog:
" Here is a magnificent example of a lovely JIAN from the early 1900s, perhaps into the 1920's. The sword is 42in. overall with a blade of 32in. The slightly flexible blade has been polished by one of the primiere sword polisher's in the US to reveal a laminated pattern, most visible on the blade's edges. The hilt is polished sharkskin with with tassel. All mounts are gorgeous brass with gilted recesses. Note the fine detail of the mounts compared to current Chinese repros. The hilt features its original tassal that shows some wear. The scabbard is wood wrapped in rayskin with attractive flowers stenciled on. Again, scabbard mounts are brass with gilted recesses. This sword has been beautifully maintained."
