This very fine quality late 19th century Raj period charger is made from heavy gauge brass which is extensively hand decorated with exceptionally fine applied radial panels worked in sheet silver and copper decorated with traditional scenes with Indian dancing figures and deities.
The central figure group is large and circular and it is surrounded by radiating bands of further decoration in the form of small boarders or intricate panels each of which is a work of art in its own right.
This type of repousse work is completely hand done. The method is raising and punching the decoration from the front and back of the sheet silver or copper. Then adding the fine detailing with hand engraving and chasing. This is a highly skilled and very time consuming process.
This particular piece is by far the largest example and most likely the finest charger of its type we have ever had the pleasure to offer for sale.
