[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 328025, member: 2844"]European dragons, European heraldic images, European symbols.... Looks very Arts&Crafts to me, British, continental Northwestern Europe, North America. The closest to China would be Australian or New Zealand made, by a craftsman of European origin. Think William Morris and circle, similar Continental movements. Arts&Crafts, Gothic Revival, Medieval Revival. The fleur de lis is an ancient symbol, already used by the Scythians and other ancient civilizations. The use is widespread in Europe and Western Asia. As far as I know, Colonial Revival was inspired by Georgian/Neo-Classic designs, not Medieval or heraldic. But that's one for our American friends.[/QUOTE]
