This evocative vintage brass vessel captures the soulful artistry of Mid-Century Chinoiserie design. Featuring a graceful crescent or boat-shaped silhouette, the bowl is adorned with hand-painted lacquer scenes depicting equestrian riders in a traditional hunting motif. The vibrant red ground provides a striking contrast to the warm brass interior and the sculptural bird-head finials that terminate each end. This artisanal piece reflects a unique fusion of global influences, likely originating from the storied metalworking traditions of India, making it a sophisticated accent for collectors of unique animalia and world-traveler decor.
Perfectly scaled as a desk accessory or a vanity catchall for fine jewelry and keys, this vessel measures 7" wide, 3" deep, and 3.5" tall. It remains in good vintage condition, showcasing a heavily distressed and weathered patina with significant lacquer loss that beautifully documents its age and history. These hallmarks of time are celebrated as authentic character marks, lending the piece a curated, "shabby chic" elegance that grounds a modern interior with a sense of the past. Add this one-of-a-kind artisanal treasure to your collection today to bring a touch of storied texture to your home.
