An Indian silver pierced Esther scroll case, circa 1900

height 26 cm

This very unusual model of Esther Scroll case was acquired by the consignor from a member of the Sassoon family. The patriarch David Sassoon moved from Baghdad to Bombay in the early 1830s, and the first generation after him maintained the Baghdadi style for their Esther scrolls. It was thus probably a member of the second generation of Sassoons who commissioned this piece reflecting Indian rather than Iranian taste.
