22.01.2022 Kashmir silver was very sought after in the late 19th century, even being sold by Hamilton’s in Calcutta and the best London shops. These recently acquired beakers c.1870 are a typical form and exhibit high quality hand chasing. In English, the common droplet-shaped motif found on silver items and Kashmir shawls is named after the Scottish town Paisley, which became famous for its imitation shawls in the first half of the 19th century. Locally, it is called boteh, meaning ‘shrub’.
