About the Item
Edwardian sterling silver exotic centerpiece. Made by Dobson & Sons in London in 1902. Entwined palm trees shade an elephant, whose trunk reaches out to the food offered by one of two turbaned men. The howdah awaits a pith-helmeted sahib to command where to go. A poignant Raj-era relic made a year after Viceroy Curzon declared, “As long as we rule India we are the greatest power in the world. If we lose it, we shall drop straightaway to a third-rate power.” Fully marked. Weight: 132 troy ounces.

A carved soapstone Raj period Indian study of elephants and two Maharajas C1910
Located in Central England, GB
A fine Indian Raj period carved soapstone study of a large elephant carrying two Maharajas and their guide seated high on its back in an elaborate carriage surrounded by a group of young elephants. This superb carving shows great skill from the highly proficient craftsman who has deeply carved and pierced the study with three dimensional detailing. And just to make his work more difficult the body of the large elephant is hollow carved and pierced with a small perfectly carved study of another elephant at its centre which is incredibly difficult to achieve working through the tight delicately carved and pierced scrolls which form its body.
Indian, circa 1910
Height 21cm x width 11cm x depth 9cm
