EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a stag's horn ewer from The Loan Collection, South-Kensington in 1862. Created by an unknown artist, this piece is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and artistry. The ewer is mounted and inlaid with ivory, featuring elaborate carvings depicting hunting scenes in minute detail.
The work is believed to be the creation of an eminent artist from the school of Augsburg, signed with the initials AM VC 1673. Owned by A. J. B. Beresford Hope, Esq., this artifact showcases the skill and talent of its creator.
Dating back to the 17th century but displayed in the 19th century museum setting, this ewer represents a blend of German handicraft and British appreciation for fine art. The photograph highlights every curve and carving on this exquisite piece.
Displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum (VA), formerly known as South Kensington Museum, this ewer stands as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship that continues to captivate viewers today.
