[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 359687, member: 2844"]Welcome Sophie. The panels are very beautiful, but I would have them tested for silver content first. The marks look cast to me, not stamped. Cast marks are usually a red flag when it comes to Chinese silver. Could you post a detail of one of the marks? I have seen many of these offered for sale, freshly made in China. I wouldn't be surprised if these were recent production as well. Which isn't a problem, as long as they are actually silver and not sold as antique.[/QUOTE]
