Indian Repoussé Silver Plates And Cups

Pictures below are the finely chased and repousséd Indian silver plates and cups demonstrates the remarkable skills of 19th century Indian silversmiths from my collection.

The plates are perfectly formed, repousséd and finely chased with the high relief Islamic-influenced scrolling tendril, foliage and flower patterns against a finely tooled background that is typical of Kutch work.
