About the Item
Early 20th century English Enamel Equestrian Silver Flask
Unidentified Maker
England; early 20th century
Silver, enamel
Approximate size: 6 (h) x 3 (w) x 1.25 (d) in.
Crafted in England during the early 20th century, its subtle curves hint at the quality within. But the real treasure lies on one side: a meticulously detailed enamel painting. A spirited horse, muscles taut and mane flowing, leaps forward with an unseen energy. Perched upon its back is a rider, clad in traditional equestrian attire, their posture suggesting a practiced ease and control. The enamelwork, vibrant and painstakingly applied, captures the play of light on the horse's coat and the determined expression on the rider's face. The whole miniature scene is a window into a bygone era, a snapshot of English country life and a testament to the skill of the artisan who brought it to life. The flask is more than just a vessel; it's a portable piece of art, a reminder of a time when craftsmanship and elegance were highly valued.
Condition: small dents along one or more corners of the flask and a minor dent to its bulbous lid. Minor chipping of the enamel along its margins. Minor scuffing to the reverse due to use and age but possibly subdued or corrected with a proper polish.

Approximate size: 83.5 (h) x 69 (w) x 23 (d) cm
The cabinet’s centralized glass door is flanked by thick spiraling Solomonic columns surmounting a lower drawer. To the rear of the cabinet, the motif repeats in an eloquent display of perspectival treatment. The overall work is supported by a tiered base, elegantly conceived, and the cabinet is topped by a handsome pediment flanked by square plinths crested by gilt metal finials and an openwork frieze.
The cabinet’s tempered and moderate form suggests an origin probably during the first decade or quarter of the 18th century. Although utilitarian in concept, the reserved and sublime expressiveness of this cabinet is managed with a quality and care respective of the influence of Florentine ebony cabinetry work conceived in the Galleria dei lavori or Grand Ducal Workshops of the 18th century Medici dynasty. In particular, its base mouldings echo a remarkable Night Clock...
