About the Item

The leaf-shaped copper tray from 19th-century Kashmir seamlessly blends the grace of nature with the opulence of Mughal design. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the tray's form mimics the elegant contours of a large, elongated leaf, creating a harmonious union between practicality and artistic expression. The surface of the tray is adorned with an intricate display of Mughal-inspired motifs, showcasing a rich tapestry of floral patterns, Persian-influenced arabesques, and delicate scrollwork. The copper base, polished to a warm, inviting glow, serves as a perfect backdrop for the elaborate craftsmanship. The edges of the tray are adorned with a finely engraved border, displaying a repeating pattern of vines, leaves, or geometric shapes. The meticulous craftsmanship reflects the influence of Persian and Central Asian aesthetics that characterized Mughal art. The copper itself exhibit a subtle patina, a result of age and careful use, further enhancing the antique charm of the tray. The combination of the warm, reddish tones of copper and the intricate Mughal patterns creates a visually captivating and culturally rich object that would have been both functional and ornamental in the refined homes of the 19th-century Kashmiri elite. This tray serves as a tangible link to a bygone era, capturing the artistic spirit of Mughal Kashmir.
