Indian Decorative Arts – Cup, Spoon & Saucer, 1886 A beautifully detailed 19th-century illustration of Indian decorative arts, featuring an elaborately ornamented cup, spoon and saucer. Originally published in Jeypore Enamels in 1886, this striking design combines rich aubergine, crimson and olive green with intricate floral patterns and delicate decorative motifs. The beautifully balanced arrangement and softly aged ivory background give the illustration a wonderfully contemporary appeal. A distinctive piece of historic decorative art, bringing colour, pattern and character to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Artist: Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob and Thomas Holbein Hendley Date: 1886
