Indian Mogul Style Silver-Clad Gilded Ceremonial Throne Chair for the Maharajah
About the Item
A magnificent and rare Indian Mogul style silver-overlay gilded ceremonial throne chair, made for the Maharajah. These throne chairs played a crucial role in the conception of kingship for all Indian Maharajah's during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the Indian culture, silver is seen as a purifying and sacred metal. In the Indian scripture, it is mentioned that silver is the most dignifying metal to be used for thrones of rulers. This marvellous silver throne is beautifully overlaid, embossed, repousséd, and engraved with exquisite designs. The throne and its original foot-stool still have their original cream-colored silk upholstery. This throne is especially rare, in that all the detail of the fauna and flora are meticulously done in open-work hand-carved filigree. The throne is hand-carved with marvellous craftsmanship into the gorgeous flowing vines and flowers seen throughout. On either side of each handle are a pair of beautifully hand-carved silver seated lions, representing power, prestige and eternity.
India, circa 1850.
