"Lidded Treasures: A Journey Through Time and Artistry" Step into the world of exquisite craftsmanship with these stunning lidded pieces. From a Posset pot crafted in Staffordshire during the late 17th century to an intricately designed Hukin and Heath two-handled bowl from 1879, each item tells its own unique story. The early 19th-century lidded bowl, saucer, and spoon adorned with astrological decoration captivate with their delicate enamel and gold work. The celestial motifs transport us back to a time when astrology held great significance in daily life. In contrast, the papier mache pen box showcases a battle scene from the 18th century. Its top painted depiction of the Battle of Chaldiran reminds us of historical events immortalized through art. Delving further into history, we encounter MS Hunter 229 f. 1r January from the Hunterian Psalter dating back to around 1170. This remarkable piece combines pen & ink and tempera on vellum, offering glimpses into medieval artistic techniques. Among these treasures is an East Persian silver and copper inlaid bronze inkwell and cover that exemplifies exceptional metalwork skill. Its intricate design reflects cultural influences from ancient Persia. Lastly, "Still Life with Shells" presents an oil painting on panel featuring nautilus shells, vases, glasses, and coral branches—a captivating composition that celebrates nature's beauty through meticulous brushstrokes. These lidded artworks not only serve functional purposes but also stand as testaments to human creativity across centuries. They invite us to appreciate the mastery behind their creation while providing windows into different eras' aesthetics and historical contexts.
