An exceptional antique German porcelain decorative vase, crafted in 1874 by the renowned Royal Bonn porcelain manufactory. This exquisite piece exemplifies the refined artistry and craftsmanship for which Royal Bonn became celebrated, featuring beautifully hand-painted figural scene of musketeer enhanced by elegant gilt decoration. The vase displays an unusual and highly decorative form, with a rounded body resting on a circular base and adorned with two gracefully integrated side handles. Finished in a rich burnt orange ground, the porcelain provides a warm and striking backdrop for the finely hand-painted oval reserve scenes depicting gallant musketeer in period attire. The detailed figural compositions capture the charm and romance of 17th-century life, while showcasing the exceptional skill and attention to detail of the artist. Fine gilt accents beautifully highlight the handles, rim, foot, and decorative borders, adding depth and elegance to the vibrant orange porcelain. The harmonious combination of the distinctive silhouette, richly colored ground, hand-painted figural decoration, and refined gilding makes this a remarkable example of 19th-century Royal Bonn porcelain and a wonderful addition to any collection of European decorative arts. The vase retains its original maker's mark and firm's seal stamp underneath, confirming its Royal Bonn origin. Equally suited as a standalone statement piece or displayed on a mantel, console, cabinet, or within a distinguished porcelain collection, it offers timeless elegance and historical appeal. Measuring 12.5 inches high, 10.25 inches wide, and 8.5 inches deep, this antique Royal Bonn porcelain vase...

Presenting an absolutely stunning 19c Anglo Ceylonese sewing box of museum quality. Made in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) circa 1860, this is one of the finest sewing boxes of it’s kind that we have ever seen! The box is made from coromandel wood (an exotic hardwood found in Ceylon) and has a serpentine edging all over the front, back and sides. Very often the lids/tops of these boxes suffer cracks due to shrinkage but this one is near perfect with no crack in the lid/top. There is some evidence of natural shrinkage but that is around the edges of the lid/top. It is when you open this box that it reveals it’s true beauty, quality and treasure ! The inside of the lid/top is heavily and beautifully decorated with inlaid bone in scrolling floral patterns which have then been hand painted with red and black ‘lac’ ink. The central medallion is a circle of inlaid specimen exotic hardwoods radiating towards a central bone and hand painted flower. The circle is edged in bone, wood and silver chevrons. What makes this box Exceptionally rare is that it contains 3 lift out base sections. Normally, there would be a maximum of 2. The first tray/section is clearly for the purposes ancillary to sewing with a pair of sections with bone spools for thread etc. There are 17 other lidded compartments with each one highly decorated using hand painted bone and specimen woods to replicate tortoiseshell. The first tray lifts out to reveal a second removeable tray which is made up of a pair of open sections and 8 specimen wood lidded sections each with chevron banding. The third tray is a smaller tray underneath with 14 lidded compartments each with hand painted bone and specimen wood inlaid lids again, replicating the look of tortoiseshell. Again they are banded with a chevron border. This is a museum quality piece ! It is in fantastic condition for it’s age with the minor shrinkage to the edges of the lid/top, some finger pulls missing and some very minor cracks to the tray lids and bases but nothing that in any way detracts from the piece. No key. Dimensions: Closed the box is 16.75 inches wide, 11.25 inches deep and 7.5 inches high Fully open the box is 16.5 inches high, 16.75 inches wide and 11.4 inches deep Anglo-Indian and ceylonese boxes: Anglo Indian boxes were made in India for the English residents from the early part of the 18th century. They were brought back or sent back to England usually by the people who had commissioned them. From the beginning of the nineteenth century they were imported more commercially, although not in any significant numbers until the middle decades. They were very highly valued, especially the early ones, to the extent that the designs were copied on late 19th and early 20th century tins. Anglo-Indian boxes normally consist of 3 main types:- (1) Most of the best and highest quality Anglo-Indian boxes in the 18th and 19th centuries were made in Vizagapatam, India, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship in using ivory and tortoiseshell and lac decoration. These are referred to as ‘Vizagapatam Boxes...
