Sold

Antique late-19th Century Burmese (Myanmar) An exceptional solid silver repoussé footed salver, intricately decorated in high relief with detailed scenes from Burmese mythology. The craftsmanship is exquisite, with each scene surrounded by finely chased scrolling foliage, adding depth and texture. The shaped rim enhances the overall elegance, while the salver stands proudly on cast, grotesque legs, each terminating with intricately designed naga masks, symbolising protection and strength.

This piece is a true testament to the rich cultural heritage and skilled artistry of traditional Burmese silverwork. The salver is unmarked as is often the case, acid tested shows a high 900+ standard silver purity, judging by the quality and style the piece dates to the 1880's.
