Pair of Chinese jade peacock feather holders, Qing Dynasty, featuring cylindrical jade tubes in pale celadon and mottled green tones, each fitted with an ornate gilt-metal mounting. The decorative mounts feature contrasting openwork designs with circular apertures and stylized geometric forms, designed for attachment to official court hats. Traditionally used to secure peacock feather plumes (hualing), these holders formed part of Qing Dynasty ceremonial headwear, with the feathers serving as prestigious distinctions awarded by the imperial court.
