Pair of casters 1700 - 1701

This pair of silver casters, crafted between 1700 and 1701, is a testament to the artistry of the English silversmith Joseph Ward. The casters, standing at 6 1/4 inches in height, feature intricate pierced designs on the domed tops and engraved floral motifs on the cylindrical bodies. The delicate craftsmanship and ornate details highlight the elegance and sophistication of silverware during this period. The casters are currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offering a glimpse into the rich history of silver craftsmanship.
