Oriental Sterling Silver Box with Figural Engravings, Handcrafted Persian Design, 18th C. An exquisite Antique Qadjar Oriental silver box, delicately hand-engraved with detailed figural and floral scenes, evoking the opulence of West Asian (Persiann) artistry. Crafted in the 19th century, this circular box features a continuous frieze of courtly musicians and noble figures within arabesque cartouches, surrounded by intricate foliate borders that showcase the exceptional skill of traditional silversmiths. Measuring approximately 6 cm in diameter and weighing about 72 grams, the box’s refined decoration reflects themes of celebration, poetry, and love – central motifs in Persian miniature painting and metalwork. The lid, meticulously etched with a symmetrical medallion composition, enhances its aesthetic balance and visual harmony. Likely made for betel, tobacco, or jewellery storage, this piece embodies both functional and artistic elegance. Its time-worn patina and fine repoussé and niello-style detailing suggest careful handwork rather than machine production, typical of mid-19th-century Oriental craftsmanship. Perfect as a collector’s item or a refined gift, this silver box adds timeless charm and cultural depth to any curated display of Eastern decorative arts.

This remarkable punch bowl is an exquisite example of Chinese export porcelain from the 18th century, made circa 1736 during the Qing Dynasty. Crafted for the European market, it exemplifies the refined artistry and technical mastery that made Chinese porcelain highly prized across the globe. The bowl is decorated in the Famille Rose palette, a style introduced in the early 18th century and characterized by its delicate pastel shades of pink, green, yellow, and blue. The exterior features carefully painted shaped panels, each illustrating detailed figural scenes rendered with great precision. These narrative vignettes depict figures in period attire engaged in daily and ceremonial activities, providing a rare glimpse into 18th century Chinese life as interpreted for European collectors. The decorative scenes are further elevated by raised gilt gold accents, applied with skill to highlight borders and motifs, enhancing both texture and visual depth. The punch bowl itself is expertly formed with a gently rounded body and slightly flared rim, creating an elegant silhouette that balances both form and function. Its surface is smooth and well-preserved, reflecting the high-quality porcelain and meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of mid-18th century Chinese export ware.
