Basin 19th century

The "Basin" was created by Elkington & Co. in the 19th century. It is an ornately decorated, circular silver basin featuring a central repoussé scene of a knight on horseback, likely depicting a battle scene. The rim is richly adorned with an intricate pattern of scrolling foliage. It is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The piece stands as an example of the intricate craftsmanship and decorative motifs of 19th-century silverwork.
