An 18th Century Indian Silver Filigree Candle Holder.
Formerly with Joseph Cohen Antiques.
As far as I can gather filigree was not made in Karimnagar before about 1820, but had been produced in Cuttack (Kattack), Orissa probably from the beginning of the 17th Century.
Karimnager pieces are very fine and use the same comma shaped twisted wires between the frames as the Cuttack pieces.
This is possibly and therefore manufactured in Cuttack but comparison with similar pieces make me think 19th century Karimnagar.
