The Chazen Museum of Art presents Delight in Design: Indian Silver for the Raj, a selection of expertly decorated silverware produced by craftsmen from different regions of India during the Raj (British colonial rule between 1858 and 1947).
The finest examples of Raj silver appear to have been created between 1860 and 1920. Much of it was ordered by the British stationed in India from the catalogs of local firms like P. Orr & Sons, in Madras, or from workshop drawings like those from Oomersee Mawjee and Sons, in Kutch.
