Antique Persian Copper Tray & Bowl Set, Hand-Etched Islamic Design
A finely hand-engraved antique copper tray and bowl set, likely Persian (Qajar period, late 18th–19th century), featuring intricate etched calligraphic and floral designs with traces of original silver-toned tinned finish. The broad tray displays stylized tulip and pomegranate motifs encircling a central medallion, while the deep, rounded bowl bears an engraved Arabic inscription band above a field of pendant floral forms. This set exemplifies the elegance of Persian metalwork, where engraved decoration and symbolic ornamentation combine to reflect centuries of artistic tradition.
The contrasting tones of aged copper and the remaining silver wash create a warm, timeworn patina, enhancing the set’s visual depth and authenticity—an appealing addition for collectors of Islamic decorative arts.
Condition
Good condition with age-appropriate wear and oxidation. The silver-toned finish has thinned over time, exposing the underlying copper. Minor surface abrasions, dents, and discoloration consistent with use and age, but no structural damage. The engraved motifs remain visible and decorative integrity intact.
