Lot 61
A pair of silver rosewater sprinklers (gulabpash) India, 19th Centuryeach with long tapering neck surmounted by a flaring flowerhead finial, the body in the form of a hamsa bird on an octagonal splayed foot, the base of the neck engraved and decorated with leaves, the foot with a border of foliate designs the tallest 27 cm. high(2)Footnotes:These rosewater sprinklers are unusual in their form. Birds gained popularity in 19th Century silver rosewater sprinkler designs across India, notably in Kutch, but the majority of such sprinklers feature realistic birds holding the sprinkler head in their beaks. For such an example, see a 19th Century Central Indian or Deccani bird-shaped rosewater sprinkler sold at Bonhams Islamic and Indian Art, 24 April 2018, Lot 309. The present design, however, shows the more stylized mythical hamsa bird and mounts the sprinkler head on top of the bird's body.The juxtaposition of textured silver with smoother and more polished silver sections on the finial and pedestal, along with as the distinctive engraved scale pattern making up the hamsa's down feathers, is characteristic of the Swami silver work produced in 19th Century Madras for European firms like the famous P. Orr & Sons. These Swami silver objects often reproduced Hindu imagery and iconography, which includes the hamsa bird. For an example of a similar hamsa in Swami silver, see a rectangular tea caddy with an engraving of Brahma riding his hamsa mount published in Dehejia, Vidya, Delight in Design: Indian Silver for the Raj, New Delhi 2008, fig. 30, p.114.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
