About the Item
Large Qajar Brass Peacock Incense Burner, Iran, 19th Century
Origin: Iran (Persia), Qajar Dynasty,
Material: Pierced and engraved brass
An exceptional and rare Qajar-period brass peacock incense burner, this 19th-century Persian masterpiece exemplifies the opulence and intricate artistry of Iran’s decorative metalwork during the late Qajar era.
Standing proudly on an engraved pedestal base, the peacock’s form is rendered with elegant stylization: a rounded, pierced body opens as a container—likely for incense or perfumed materials—while the dramatic fan-shaped tail is adorned with openwork medallions depicting courtly scenes, floral motifs, and mythical figures, executed in breathtaking detail.
The head features an arched neck, engraved in floral arabesques, a beak of contrasting polish, and a royal crest finial that recalls both imperial symbolism and divine beauty—common themes in Qajar court aesthetics. The entire sculpture glows with a time-softened patina that highlights its intricate hand-chased patterns.
A striking and culturally significant decorative object—perfect for collectors of Islamic art, Qajar-era metalwork, or museum-level interiors seeking a rare Persian centerpiece.

View AllKashmiri Mughal Bird Copper Ewer, Mid 19th Century
Located in Islamabad, PK
This exquisite piece of art seamlessly combines the intricate aesthetics of Mughal design with the skilled craftsmanship of Kashmiri artisans, resulting in a stunning and unique creation.
The copper ewer takes the form of a bird, with its body forming the main body of the vessel and its neck serving as the spout. The bird's wings, tail feathers, and even subtle details like beak and eyes are meticulously rendered, showcasing the artisan's attention to detail. The entire form of the ewer is fluid and elegant, capturing the essence of avian grace.
The surface of the copper ewer is adorned with elaborate Mughal-inspired engravings and embellishments. Floral patterns, intricate vines, and delicate geometric designs cover the bird-shaped body, creating a visually rich tapestry of artistry. The Mughal influence is evident in the precision of the decorative elements, reflecting the era's emphasis on fine craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication.
The handle of the ewer, perhaps formed as a continuation of the bird's body or as a separate element, is designed for both functionality and artistic harmony. It complements the overall form, allowing for easy pouring while maintaining the cohesive avian aesthetic.
