Re: The Chinese presents Archived Message Posted by ErikS on July 31, 2018, 12:01 am, in reply to "The Chinese presents" Interesting, because in French sources I read that jade first appeared in French jewellery after the Siege of Beijing, part of the Boxer Rebellion in 1899-1901. Essentially war booty. Remember: the Koh-I-Noor was officially a properly documented gift. Reality was completely different. Message Thread: Ostier, Marianne.
