Antique Indian Brass Vase – Engraved Hunting Scene & Florals, 4.5″ Tall
£ 25.00
On offer is a striking antique Indian brass vase, standing at 4.5 inches tall, with intricate hand-engraved decoration showcasing a dynamic hunting scene amid lush floral scrollwork. This traditional piece reflects the rich artisan legacy of India, where storytelling and metalwork have been intertwined for centuries.
The detailing is exceptional — galloping animals, archers in motion, and expressive wildlife forms emerge from a dense tapestry of stylized vines, palms, and blooms. Over time, the recessed areas have developed a deepened patina, enhancing the dramatic contrast and depth of the design.
Perfect for collectors or those who style with globally inspired pieces, this vase is a stunning object in its own right — whether displayed solo, in a grouping, or used as a dry floral holder.

🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes
This vase reflects the traditional bidriware-inspired aesthetic, though made in solid brass rather than inlaid zinc. The motifs — horsemen, hunters, and stylized flora — suggest a narrative form often found in Mughal and Rajput decorative arts, possibly dating from the mid-20th century, crafted in a regional Indian metalworking hub such as Moradabad.
