About the Item

Small engraved silver part-tea service of Persian design Persian, 20th Century Samovar: Height 23cm, width 16cm, depth 15cm Teapot: Height 9cm, width 10cm, depth 6.5cm Decorated with elaborate Persian designs, this excellent tea service comprises a silver samovar and teapot, which sit on top of a tray specifically shaped to house these items. All three elements are ornately engraved with foliate and floral sprays. The most elaborate of these items is the small samovar, the tapered body of which culminates in a tiered foot decorated with two bands of pierced star decoration. Wooden knobs are attached to the lid, side handles, and valve handle, providing a refined colour contrast against the shining silver. The samovar sits on top of a square base with ball feet. Samovars were traditionally used to boil water for tea: the steeping teapot would sit on top of the cap of the samovar, and the strong brew would be diluted to each person’s taste by adding hot water from the spout. They were items for the elite, that are now regarded as precious antique collectables. The marks ‘84’ and an unknown Persian workshop hallmark can be seen on the tray. Displaying expert silverware craftsmanship on a miniature scale, this set is a true collector’s item.
