Chinese Jewelry and Antiques

Chinese art is distinguished by its symbolic motifs. Flowers often represent the four seasons: plum blossom for winter, peony for spring, lotus for summer and chrysanthemum for fall. Color too holds symbolic meaning: green for spring, youth and activity; red for summer and celebration; white for autumn and the spiritual realm; and black is the color of dormant nature in winter, suggesting the potential of all things.
