19th century Egyptian Grand Tour Cairo Ware silver inlay charger.

About the Item

This superb heavy Egyptian Grand Tour wall charger dates to the mid to late 19th century at the time when the pyramids and Pharos tombs were being excavated and all sorts of treasures discovered. This prime example would have been completely handmade and intended for wealthy travellers to purchase as a take home memento of their visit to Egypt. This most interesting charger is made from hand beaten heavy gauge brass or bronze. The decoration has been hand carved with a fine chisel and hammer and in some parts extensively inlaid with raised silver and copper forming a three dimensional classical Egyptian scene. At its centre, there is a seated Pharaoh being attended by servants. One is playing music from a harp-like instrument. The central scene is bordered and banded with classical decorative patterns, some of which are carved and others inlaid. The outer raised rim is further inlaid with classical tablets and symbols. This is a high-grade, beautiful, rare piece of Egyptian art. It is fine in quality, highly decorative, and has a pleasing age-related patina. Circa 1880 Height 34cm x width 34cm x depth 1.8cm

19th century Chinese bronze cencer with Buddhist lion decoration circa 1860

Located in Central England, GB

This large Chinese bronze censer dates to circa 1860. It is made in three parts, stand, vessel, and lid. The lid has pierced decorative panels with pine trees and a bold Buddhist lion finial for lifting. The censer has lifting handles in the shape of bamboo to each side and again also has panels with pine forests with mythical beasts and side mounts in the form of Buddhist lion mastheads. It is raised on four shaped legs with a beast mask head at the top and sits on the raised and pierced stand. The decoration on this piece is all hand finished with chasing and engraving giving good detail. The censer has a green/brown patina. Circa 1860 Censers are a type of vessel for burning incense. In many cultures burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations which influence the design and decoration of the censer. The lion is one of Buddhism’s most potent symbols. Traditionally the lion is associated with regality, strength and power. It is therefore an appropriate symbol of Buddha who, tradition has it, was a regal prince. As Buddhist priests and monks from India, they brought with them stories of stone Asiatic lions...
