A Silver Megillah case with Esther Scroll, Ottoman Empire, 19th century

This silver Esther scroll case dates to the 19th century, and is from the Ottoman Empire. It features a multi-paneled handle that attaches to cylindrical case that is decorated with bold floral motifs and rococo c-scrolls, all of which were entirely hand chased. This is an elegant, perhaps even magnificent, piece of antique Jewish ceremonial art.
