This antique Indian solid silver charger is an exceptional example of late 19th to early 20th-century craftsmanship from India’s renowned silversmithing regions, likely Kutch or Cuttack. Beautifully hand-chased and repoussé-worked, the charger displays exquisite artistry and intricate detail throughout.

The central medallion features a finely pierced peacock motif, symbolising grace, pride, and immortality — surrounded by an ornate border depicting royal procession scenes with elephants, horses, chariots, and attendants. Each figure is expertly modelled in high relief, showcasing the remarkable skill and depth typical of traditional Indian silverwork.

Made from solid silver (92.5% purity), this decorative charger would have been created as a presentation or ceremonial piece, admired for its symbolic and artistic significance. The craftsmanship, narrative detail, and condition make it a standout addition to any collection of antique silver, Oriental art, or colonial-era Indian pieces.
