Ivory and Silver Junggayan Barong Restoration
Greetings Folks!
Here is a restoration I did for someone recently. The piece is a junggayan ivory and silver barong with a Chinese smith's mark. It had a plain brass band in place of an okir/okil chased silver band. I replaced it with a silver okir/okil silver band. Here are some before pictures. |

Oh man, what a difference one band makes! Very nice work. It follows the original design very nicely. Good work!

Nice job !
I would patinate the silver wire a little as now it looks a little bit to overcleaned for my taste. But the chase or repouse work on the band looks great. How many hours did such a job take ? Best regards Willem |

Your work is beautiful Jose, but frankly from my own aesthetic i prefer the way it looks in the original photo with plain brass band breaking up all that silver.
You did a great job matching the repousse work though. |
