About the Item

A late 19th century white metal (tests as sterling quality silver), very fine quality repousse decorated jar and cover. This superbly detailed low-profile jar and cover are raised onto three shaped and engraved feet. The body of the jar has a bulbous profile, which is deeply decorated with hand-worked repousse panels with pairs of seated figures separated with scrolled panelling and ornate borders. The cover has similar intricate fine decorative work with numerous single figures within a matching scrolled and panelled boarder. At the raised and moulded centre, there is a further foliate and acanthus border rising to a mythical beast which acts as a finial or lifting knob. The cover has been beautifully made and has a very precise push-on fit, which is remarkable, bearing in mind this intricate and decorative piece would have been hand-worked out of a flat sheet, unlike European pieces of silver, which are often cast or spun to produce their profile.
