Nawab of Oudh - Silver Jewelry Box.
Piece showcases extraordinary metalwork in this richly decorated silver box with intricate filigree patterning across every surface. The lid and sides feature an elaborate dance of botanical motifs—delicate vines and leaves flowing in rhythmic patterns that create a mesmerizing sense of movement and organic beauty. The contrast between the raised silver relief work and the darkened recessed areas accentuates the depth and complexity of the design, while the patina speaks to the piece's authentic heritage.
About Artwork:
This circa 1950 silver treasure box represents a distinguished lineage, having descended from the royal Vizianagram family of India. In traditional Indian households, particularly among aristocracy, silver objects held profound cultural significance as both practical luxury items and symbols of status and refinement. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in every millimeter of the surface demonstrates the exceptional skill of Indian silversmiths who created these heirloom pieces. When displayed in contemporary settings, this rectangular box brings regal elegance to tabletops or shelves, its visual complexity rewarding close examination while its historical provenance adds layers of cultural narrative to any collection.
