About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning original circa 1870 Indian Repoussé Colonial Solid Silver tea service attributed to Oomersi Mawji & Son’s depicting very rare Elephant finials What a find! This set is absolutely sublime, the Repousse work is first class, made during the English colonization of India for the export market, it is 100% Indian solid silver, each piece has the coat of arms shield and initials of the family who brought it back from their campaign The service is quite rare as it has elephant finials which I love, it is super elegant and honestly a wonderful conversation starter Condition wise, there will be age and use related patina marks here and there and I wouldn’t suggest using it as an actual tea service, this is more for decoration Dimensions of the Teapot Height:- 12.5cm Width:- 18cm Depth:- 10.5cm Dimensions of the Milk pot Height:- 7.5cm Width:- 9.5cm Depth:- 6cm Dimensions of the sugar bowl Height:- 9cm Width:- 11.5cm Depth:- 6.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid
