About the Item

Extraordinary 19th Century Turkish Copper and Brass Coffee Urn. Intricate hammered geometric floral designs and Islamic lettering. With a solid brass dragon motif handle on a pierced decorative base with original coffee percolator interior and lipped spout. An exceptional 19th-century Turkish copper and brass coffee urn, crafted with exquisite detail and symbolic ornamentation. The bulbous body is richly adorned with hand-engraved Ottoman floral arabesques framed within pointed arches, exhibiting superb craftsmanship and decorative complexity. A solid brass handle in the form of a stylized dragon adds sculptural dimension and symbolic strength, while the spout is gracefully lipped and textured with feather-like detailing. The domed lid, topped with a finely cast acorn finial, opens on a double-hinged mechanism to reveal the original interior percolator- an uncommon survival that speaks to the piece's authenticity and functional heritage. The urn rests on a delicately pierced footed base, elevating the form and allowing for heat diffusion during use. A striking example of late Ottoman metalwork, this urn combines aesthetic refinement with ceremonial purposes, likely used in elite domestic or hospitality settings.

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. Likely used in ceremonial or domestic rituals, this vessel stands as a worthy testament to Tibetan artisanship and Buddhist ritual culture. A compelling piece for collectors of Himalayan antiques...
