This 19th century Victorian English silver plated barware mug is a remarkable example of the elaborate repoussé technique, showcasing the high level of artistry achieved by English silver plate craftsmen during the period. The mug features a central wreath depicting knights on horseback engaged in battle, while two additional detailed scenes portray knights fighting on foot, creating a dynamic narrative that captures the drama and valor of medieval combat. The high-relief design demonstrates exceptional skill and attention to detail, with carefully rendered figures, armor, and weaponry that bring each scene vividly to life.
Although unsigned, the quality of craftsmanship and intricacy of the repoussé work reflect the sophistication of Victorian English silver plate. The mug is in good condition, with a well-polished surface that enhances the sculptural relief and highlights the depth and precision of the engraved motifs.
Measuring approximately 5.5 inches in height, 5.75 inches in width, and 4 1/8 inches in depth, this piece functions both as a practical drinking vessel and as a striking decorative object. Its historic martial themes, detailed high-relief design, and Victorian elegance make it a distinguished addition to any collection of English silver plate barware, a conversation piece for display, or an extraordinary example of 19th century decorative craftsmanship.
