Large handmade Aesthetic Edwardian silver bowl
Large handmade Aesthetic Edwardian silver bowl
7049
This amazing antique Edwardian sterling silver bowl is entirely handmade and styled after a Chinese design. The reliefs of chrysanthemums and fighting cocks are exceptional, being hand-chased with incredibly fine detail, even including loose feathers floating around the birds. It has a hand-finished naturalistic background and an applied moulded rim to add extra weight and strength to an already substantial piece.
Aesthetic silver design focused on decorative surface detail where the shape of pieces was borrowed from an earlier stylistic era, but now covered in a riot of flowers, plants and birds, featuring Oriental decorative motifs; herons, blossom, bamboo, chrysanthemum and butterflies.
