During the later nineteenth century, Western Europeans were so fascinated by their work that they exhibited throughout Europe, with Liberty’s bringing two Cutch silversmiths to live and work for them in London in 1885, and Elkington & Co copying their designs. Oomsersi Mawji and his sons perfected the ages old skills of Cutch silversmiths to become recognised as the masters of this genre, and their pieces are seen as the finest of all Indian silverware. Literatre: Wilkinson W.R.T: ‘Indian Silver (Silver From the Indian Sub Continent)’; London 1999: pp74 and 75 for two examples of similar claret jugs by Oomersi Mawji
An Indian Asoka column, circa 1947, the tapered column topped with four lions above embossed chakras, the flared base with four cast tigers lying between foliate scrolls, 45cm high The Asoka column represents the ideals for the founding of the state of India, following independence in 1947. This symbolism, entrenched in the Indian pshyche, is taken from the reign of the emperor Asoka (273-232BC), who followed Buddha’s teaching to aspire to being the ideal enlightened ruler. The chakra (wheels) and lions were adopted as national symbols in modern India, illustrating the desire of the state to adhere to good governance and a peaceful society. Literature: Wilkinson W.R.T: ‘Indian Silver 1858-1947’. p.27 for an explanation of the Asoka columns
