It has been embossed, chased, and engraved with marine imagery taken from two famous engravings by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau the Elder (c.1512– 86). One can imagine well-to-do diners dipping their fingers into the sweet-smelling rosewater, and taking a moment to feel the raised work and to look down at the mythical sea-creatures cavorting in the real and fictively rendered water. The basin would originally have been silver; the gilding was added at a later date, possibly when the Fuller family replaced the original boss with their armorials. The coat-of-arms of the Fuller family of Hyde House and Germans, Buckinghamshire was probably added in the early 19th century. Lapits round the edge of the boss suggest the original would have been enamelled. The arms also appear on an English silver-gilt ewer of 1583, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum (M.250-1924), with which the basin was paired when it belonged to Sir Samuel Montagu (1842-1911). This splendid basin is one of very few extant examples of sixteenth-century Parisian goldsmith's work in the Mannerist style. The marine subjects were derived from two designs for tazze (drinking cups) by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau (c.1510-1585): 'The Triumph of Neptune' and 'The Battle between Marine Centaurs'. reference term-10618 adlib-term-10618 9ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136 Renaissance reference term-110475 adlib-term-110475 223ae6a7-2f91-3314-ae3c-da3233ae47dc 16th Century, Mid reference term-129470 adlib-term-129470 8353db27-fba9-33c1-94a1-f268fd2a2d21 literal France France country Paris reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver Diameter cm 45.5 reference term-89303 adlib-term-89303 7012fd66-769f-33c8-bb38-d805db27c8c9 basin history note Sir Samuel Montague, first Baron Swaythling; sold Christie, Manson & Woods, London, 6-7 May 1924, Catalogue of the Renowned Collection of Silversmith's Work formed by the Right Hon.
