Mid 19th Century Pair of Indian Ceremonial Bowls, Raj Period Circa 1860

19th century
Description

This highly decorative pair of mid 19th century Raj period Indian ceremonial bowls is very unusual. They are made from dense red hardwood turned by hand on a simple pole lathe and then intricately brass mounted with ornately engraved bands, roundels and motifs secured in place with brass nails. In addition, the bases are also finished in brass which is engraved with a single flower head.

The bowls are most eye catching with almost a classical look to their design and decoration.

One bowl is slightly larger than the other.

Indian, circa 1860

Dimensions of the largest bowl:

Height 11cm x width 15cm x depth 15cm

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Metalware from this era typically features intricate hand-engraved or repousse ornamentation depicting indigenous flora, fauna, and geometric patterns, crafted from brass, bronze, or copper alloys.

Vessels were predominantly sand-cast or lost-wax cast using brass or bronze, followed by manual surface embellishment using chisels and punches to produce detailed relief decoration.

Authentic pieces exhibit evidence of hand-tooling rather than machine stamping, natural wear along handling surfaces, irregular hand-cast thickness, and aged oxidisation within recessed areas.

Displaying the pair on a console table, sideboard, or open shelving introduces warm metallic tones and historical texture to modern interior spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive chemical polishes or immersion in water, as preserving the natural surface oxidisation and aged patina is vital for maintaining historic integrity.
