17th Century Liegoise Chiseled Brass Water Kettle is a truly special artifact, custom-made entirely by hand for an affluent client.  Only the most skilled metalsmiths could craft such a well-balanced kettle from solid brass, then line it with tin inside, and finally chisel and engrave the exterior all around ~ on the lid, even the handle ~ to such a degree of artistry.  Grandiose urn, foliate and scrollwork motifs are the themes, with subtle flowers placed at the top of the swiveling handle, the knob and lid, and even more amazing, on the heads of the rivets!  Exceptionally well-preserved, it will make a beautiful conversation piece for your sophisticated decoration!
Circa 1680s
