Rare 19th Century Persian Brass Cup
About the Item
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!

19th-Century Tibetan Copper and Brass Ritual Vessel with Applied Ornamentation
Located in Middleburg, VA
A richly detailed 19th-century Tibetan ritual vessel, hand-forged from copper and embellished with applied repousse and engraved brass medallions, geometric plaques, and symbolic mounts. Raised on three splayed feet, this bulbous, high-necked vessel features a domed body adorned with a dense array of ritual and decorative appliques, including stylized floral medallions, abstract symbols, and keyhole-like forms that reference tantric iconography.
The vessel's expressive form is punctuated by three protruding spouts and retains its original arched swing handle with pierced brass finials. Meticulously decorated in traditional metalworking techniques, the surface patina reveals a rich, warm interplay between the copper ground and the golden brass overlay. An aesthetic that speaks to both spiritual function and ornamental sophistication.
