ANTIQUE #SA1221066

Pair Gilt-metal Jewellery Caskets With Dog Finials C.1880

£790    $1,057    €925
A charming pair of late 19th-century Continental gilt-metal caskets in the Renaissance Revival (Historismus) taste, each surmounted by a finely cast figural dog finial — one a seated spaniel, the other a hound at the chase.
 
The hinged domed lids and bombé bodies are richly decorated all over with hand-chased and engraved acanthus scrollwork, foliate motifs and beaded borders, raised on shaped scrolled feet with scroll-and-bead twin handles to either side. The interiors retain their original rose-pink silk linings, with leather-covered card bases.
 
Produced in the manner of the Viennese and Hanau workshops that specialised in this revivalist style during the 1870s–1890s, these caskets would originally have graced a lady''s dressing table, intended to hold jewellery, trinkets or small keepsakes. Sold as a matched pair — increasingly difficult to find together.
