EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of an ivory tankard from 1862, part of The Loan Collection at South-Kensington. The tankard is mounted in silver-gilt and features a richly carved drum depicting a mythological subject - the Marriage of Jupiter and Juno. The cover, also made of ivory, showcases a beautiful frieze of amorini and other decorative elements.
Dating back to the 17th century, this Flemish tankard is described as exquisitely-finished and was once owned by Robert Napier, Esq. The craftsmanship displayed in this artifact is truly remarkable, with every detail meticulously engraved and decorated.
Displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this piece is a testament to the artistry and skill of craftsmen from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of the beauty that can be created through hand-carving and handicrafts.
The black-and-white image allows viewers to focus on the intricate design of the tankard without distraction. This antique artifact not only represents a bygone era but also highlights the enduring appeal of fine artistry throughout history.
