Auction: The Stewart Collection of Indian and Burmese Silver
The Stewart Collection represents the first ever devoted auction of Indian silver. Starting with Burma and a small amount from Ceylon, the sale then takes the viewer on an anticlockwise journey throughout the silversmithing centres of British India, beginning in Madras. The collection is remarkable for the extent to which it covers the handmade craftsmanship of every area and the variety of decoration associated with those regions in India. From the highly prolific Lucknow to the little-known Trichinopoly alongside the deeply coveted works of the Cutch region; the complex web of shapes and patterns is explored as a perfect survey of this distinct and important moment in the history of silversmithing. Indian and Burmese silver of the Raj period was admired across the world at the turn of the last century, now revived with publications over the last 25 years, this collection serves tribute to this passion of the past.
