A WHITE MARBLE 'LOTUS' BASIN, UTTAR PRADESH, 19TH TO EARLY 20TH CENTURY
A WHITE MARBLE 'LOTUS' BASIN, UTTAR PRADESH, 19TH TO EARLY 20TH CENTURY
India, Agra. Finely carved, the shallow circular vessel is cleverly modeled as a fully opened lotus blossom, the interior formed by eight broad overlapping petals radiating from a small central boss. A second register of pointed petals emerges beneath, creating a layered floral profile with softly undulating edges. The smoothly polished stone displays a subtle cream and honey-colored veining throughout.
Provenance: From the personal collection of Jade Jagger, Kempsford Manor, Fairford, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.
Jade Jagger (b. 1971) is a British jewelry designer, artist, collector, and the daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and Nicaraguan-born actress and activist Bianca Jagger. Raised between Britain and the United States, she developed a career spanning art, fashion and design, becoming particularly known for her work as a jewelry designer, including a period as creative director at Garrard. Alongside her creative practice, Jagger has been an active collector of art, antiques and design, assembling an eclectic collection shaped by her international lifestyle and longstanding connections with the worlds of contemporary art, fashion and design.
Condition: Very good condition with some wear and natural irregularities. Small nicks and nibbles to the edges of the petals, encrustations, soiling, and signs of weathering.
