A antique mid to late 19th century Anglo-Indian Lucknow silver parasol handle. Antique Indian silver is characterised by its intricate repousse work, which was a painstaking process which required both time and skill. Lucknow ware is distinguished by its usage of motifs from other regions, as well as depictions of village and jungle life which here can be seen through the stem of this handle. While unmarked, this is made from high-grade silver, likely .800 to .900 silver purity.
Price marked at $550 AUD.
Measurements: 20cm length, 86 grams.
Excellent condition overall; one small split where this would have originally attached to a handle. Still displays excellently.
