The plates include the overall plan of the market, sectional and elevation studies, interior architectural views and detailed layouts of the structure. They are refined, crisp and unmistakably French in character, capturing the elegant clarity of Restoration-era architectural presentation.

Standing 42 cm high and weighing a remarkable 3012 grams, it belongs to a far more serious category than ordinary colonial silver or decorative table wares. This is a museum-level statement object, conceived for a rich interior and intended to dominate a room rather than merely decorate it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts silhouette is especially distinguished. The tall neck rises from a powerful baluster body and is carried on a broad lobed pedestal foot, creating a form of unusual elegance and architectural poise. Large Indian silver vases are markedly rarer than bowls, cups, sprinklers or other table objects, and examples of this size are rarer still. That rarity is central to its appeal. This is precisely the kind of object that would have required months of highly disciplined hand labour in a specialist workshop fully at ease with this ornamental language.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire surface is richly covered with dense repoussé and chased floral ornament on a finely matted ground. This interplay between soft matte texture and deeply raised hand-work gives the vase extraordinary richness under changing light. The ornament does not merely decorate the body; it shapes it, controls the movement of the eye and creates a sophisticated play between light, shadow and relief. This is far above routine decorative silver and clearly belongs to the realm of serious artistic metalwork.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe vase is made of solid high-grade silver. Indian vases of this quality were traditionally made in silver of approximately .900 to .916 fineness, and sometimes .925. The exact silver content cannot be stated without laboratory analysis, but acid testing confirms high-grade silver. The piece is not weighted. The visible construction line in the upper section is entirely natural in a substantial hand-made silver object of this size and reflects traditional sectional manufacture rather than any defect.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts provenance is a major strength. The vase comes from the collection of Christopher Hodsoll, one of the best-known English interior decorators of his generation. A designer of this level bought only exceptional objects for his own collection. It is entirely plausible that this vase was originally acquired not simply as a cabinet piece, but as an important decorative accent intended for a high-level interior.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom an investment perspective, the vase is equally compelling. Truly desirable antique objects are those in which rarity of scale, exceptional craftsmanship, strong school, decorative power and distinguished provenance come together. All of these elements are present here. At a time when important Indian works of art continue to attract growing attention from collectors and investors, this vase offers not only decorative magnificence, but long-term cultural and market appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 42 cm \/ 16.5″\u003cbr\u003e\nRim diameter: 20.8 cm \/ 8.2″\u003cbr\u003e\nMaximum body diameter: 24.5 cm \/ 9.6″\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 3012 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nVery good antique condition, with light surface wear consistent with age and handling.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping \u0026amp; Packaging\u003cbr\u003e\nFully tracked and insured delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping cost includes professional packaging, careful handling, and secure postage.\u003cbr\u003e\nCarefully packed using recycled materials where possible.\u003cbr\u003e\nCustoms paperwork provided where necessary for smooth international delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study all photographs as they form part of the description.\u003cbr\u003e\nQuestions are welcome.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Gillers Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62882063614282,"sku":"B1664","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5351\/6106\/files\/il_fullxfull.7825340144_8m00.jpg?v=1785892300"},{"product_id":"russian-vishnyakov-attributed-papier-mache-lacquer-cigarette-case-c-1850-1870","title":"Russian Vishnyakov Attributed Papier-Mâché Lacquer Cigarette Case, c.1850-1870","description":"An original Russian papier-mâché lacquer cigarette case dating from the mid-19th century and attributed to the renowned Vishnyakov workshop.

The figure is shown in a graceful dancing pose, with the torso gently curved, one arm raised high and the other lowered forward. This expressive movement is closely connected with the famous Han dynasty image of the sleeve dancer, a courtly and ritual subject associated with music, ceremony and the afterlife.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe figure has a strong visual presence. At 27.5 cm high and weighing 1294 grams, it is a substantial object with real sculptural weight and authority. The dense grey earthenware body, pale surviving surface layers, mineral accretions and naturally aged texture are consistent with Chinese archaeological tomb pottery. The soft modelling of the face, elongated body and robe-like lower section correspond well with known museum examples of Han dynasty dancer and entertainer figures.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA particularly close museum parallel is the Female Dancer in the Art Institute of Chicago, attributed to China, Western Han dynasty, about the 2nd century BC, made of grey earthenware with slip coating and polychrome pigments. The Chicago figure preserves more of its original colour, while the present example shows the same essential type with most of the original pigment now lost through age and burial wear. The raised arm, restrained face, grey pottery body and flowing robe-like base make the comparison especially relevant.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese figures formed part of the mingqi tradition: objects placed in tombs to symbolically accompany the deceased in the next world.

He played a significant role in the revival of pewter for decorative objects, earning recognition with a gold medal at the 1889 Universal Exhibition. Trained initially as a woodcarver under Honorè Bourdoncle, Brateau transitioned to engraving for renowned jewelry companies like Vever and Boucheron starting in 1874. He later shifted his focus to pewter in 1878. Recognized for his contributions, he was appointed as a member of the Legion of Honour in 1894 and served on the jury at the Universal Exhibition of 1900. \u003cbr\u003e\nHis masterpiece, \"L'Olivier\" (The Olive Tree), was selected to represent pewter work at the 1900 World Fair.
