German Tromp L'oeil Silver Brotherhood Wine Vessel, 19th Century
About the Item
A rare 19th century German "Bruderschaft" (Brotherhood) wine vessel in form of a wine barrel, consisting of two separate cups, connected by a chain with a lock. With gilded interior, this unique object is beautifully crafted in Tromp L'oeil technique, masterfully simulating natural pattern of wood and metal hoops. There is an inscription around one end that reads "Nur fur Wein soll dieses Fassgeschaffen sein" ("Only for wine these barrels are created"). On the other end, there is an undeciphered crest, depicted as a furious lion on its hind legs, wearing a crown and roaring with his tongue out.
Weight: 8.1oz (229.3g)
Trompe-l'oeil (French for "deceive the eye") is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Forced perspective is a comparable illusion in architecture.
