Hello, this item is an antique Chinese jian (double-edged straight sword), likely from the late Qing Dynasty (circa 19th to early 20th century). The hilt and scabbard fittings are made of cast bronze with traditional motifs, including stylized dragons and geometric borders, both common in ceremonial or decorative jian. The patina and oxidation present on the metal components indicate genuine age and exposure, consistent with prolonged oxidation over several decades.

The grip appears wrapped in an aged cloth binding, while the blade, likely iron or low-carbon steel, shows heavy rusting and pitting, suggesting it was not maintained for combat use but possibly intended as a presentation or ceremonial sword. Jian of this type were often produced as status symbols or martial training swords during the late imperial and early Republican periods.Based on its design, material, and current condition, the estimated market value is 400 to 700 USD.
