Description: 17th-century brass bowl Diameter: 39.5 cm Material: driven and hammered brass Dating: 17th century (c. 1600–1680) Very fine and well-made 17th-century bowl in heavy brass. The bowl features a wide, slightly raised rim and a centrally domed medallion with richly chased leaf-and-vine motifs in relief. Notable features: The punched edge decoration with repeating floral/rosette motifs The deeply chased central rosette with Baroque foliate scrolls The evident handcraft (hammer marks visible on the reverse) Beautiful warm patina with natural signs of age This type of bowl was used in the 17th century as: ornamental bowl display centerpiece on a table or sideboard sometimes as a baptismal bowl or ecclesiastical object The quality of the chasing and finishing points to an artisanal workshop with experience in decorative brasswork. Origin Based on form, decoration and technique, the bowl is very likely from the Southern Netherlands (Flanders/Brabant) or possibly Northern France. This type of punched edge with repetitive floral decoration and a chased central rosette is common in the Low Countries in the 17th century. Condition Beautiful authentic patina No modern alterations visible Normal signs of wear consistent with age Rim with slight distortion (typical of hand-forged work)
