About the Item

The Persian brass round platter from the early 20th century is a stunning example of Persian metalwork, showcasing a fusion of calligraphic and geometrical engravings. This platter crafted by skilled artisans, reflects the cultural and artistic sophistication of Persian craftsmanship during the early 20th century. The brass platter, chosen for its durability and malleability, serves as the canvas for the intricate engravings.

The calligraphic elements are executed with precision, showcasing the mastery of the artisan in manipulating the brass to create fluid and elegant lines. Surrounding or complementing the calligraphy, geometric patterns are intricately engraved into the surface of the platter.

Geometric patterns in Persian art often hold symbolic and spiritual significance, representing unity, eternity, and the interconnectedness of life. The juxtaposition of calligraphy and geometric engraving creates a visually engaging and harmonious composition. The brass surface, with its warm and lustrous tones, enhances the contrast between the engraved elements, making the details stand out prominently. The platter's rim features additional embellishments and intricate patterns, further enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The choice of brass not only serves a functional purpose but also adds a sense of luxury and timeless elegance to the platter. The early 20th century timeframe aligns with a period when Persian craftsmanship continued to flourish, drawing inspiration from a rich history of art and culture. This platter stands as a testament to the artistic traditions of the time, reflecting the enduring beauty and sophistication of Persian metalwork. Whether used as a decorative piece or for serving special occasions, this Persian brass round platter with calligraphic and geometrical engraving embodies the cultural identity and artistic excellence of Persian craftsmanship during the early 20th century.
