Rare 19th Century Persian Brass Cup with extraordinary geometric incised floral decoration. Substantial with beautiful patination. Made circa 1820.
A finely crafted Persian brass cup dating to the early 19th century, circa 1820. This elegant vessel features a gently tapered cylindrical form meticulously adorned with intricate hand-chased decoration. The surface is richly incised with repeating arabesque and foliate motifs, including stylized tulips and pomegranates, famed within teardrop cartouches. Executed with remarkable precision, the design reflects the refined aesthetic and technical sophistication of Persian metalwork during the Qajar dynasty. The recessed backgrounds retain a darkened patina, creating a striking contrast with the polished surface and enhancing the depth of the engraving.
This piece exemplifies the fusion of function and ornament typical of Persian decorative arts and would make a compelling addition to collections of Islamic or Middle Eastern antiques!
