Monumental Mughal Brass and Copper Calligraphy Tray Table, India, circa 1920 A monumental early-20th-century Indian brass and copper tray table, attributed to Rajasthan and dating to approximately 1920. Impressive in both scale and craftsmanship, this extraordinary low table combines a richly worked antique metal tray with a newly custom-made iron base, creating a functional coffee table with the presence of a significant work of Islamic decorative art. The expansive rectangular tray is handcrafted in copper and embellished with applied brass decoration. Its recessed central field is densely worked with Arabic-script calligraphy, scrolling arabesques, geometric borders and finely chased ornamental bands. The calligraphic decoration is organized in the Indo-Persian and Mamluk Revival tradition, reflecting the historic exchange of artistic vocabulary between Mughal India, Persia, Ottoman workshops and the Islamic metalworking centers of Cairo and Damascus. A broad raised border surrounds the central field, articulated with a rhythmic sequence of rounded repoussé bosses. Large sculptural handles extend from both ends of the tray, giving the piece an imposing overall width of 66.5 inches. The aged copper and brass surfaces retain a warm, softly burnished patina with oxidation, rubbing and tonal variation that reveal the tray’s age and handcrafted construction. The elaborate metalwork has been described historically as Qur’anic or Koranic calligraphy. However, because the inscriptions have not been independently translated, they are identified conservatively here as Arabic-script calligraphic decoration, possibly devotional in nature. This more precise description preserves the table’s important Islamic artistic character without making an unverified claim about the specific text. The antique tray rests on a newly fabricated blackened iron base designed specifically to accommodate its substantial proportions. The restrained linear construction of the stand provides stable support while allowing the highly detailed metal surface and sculptural handles to remain the visual focus. At approximately 17.25 inches high, the completed piece functions beautifully as a monumental cocktail table, low coffee table or central salon table. Its generous 57-by-33-inch tray surface offers ample room for entertaining, books or decorative objects, although the intricate calligraphy and metalwork are striking enough to be displayed with minimal styling. The removable tray may also be appreciated separately as an oversized example of Indian Islamic metalwork. This antique Mughal-style tray table would be an exceptional focal point in a Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, Moorish, Islamic, British Colonial, Indo-Persian, maximalist or sophisticated contemporary interior. It is especially well suited to a large living room, library, collector’s salon, hotel lobby or luxury hospitality setting where its monumental scale can be fully appreciated.

Title: Original 1924 Islamic Architectural Print – Mihrab of Sultan Mehmed I, Bursa, Ottoman Empire Date: 1924 (after a monument completed in 1421) Origin: Paris, France Medium: Color lithograph on paper Dimensions: Approximately 49 x 35.5 cm (19.3 x 14 inches) Unframed. Any framed images are provided for visual inspiration only. Description: An original architectural lithograph depicting the magnificent mihrab of the Turbé (mausoleum) of Çelebi Sultan Mehmed I in Bursa, completed in 1421. This remarkable plate forms part of Alexandre M. Raymond’s monumental publication *L’Art Islamique en Orient – IIe Partie*, among the most important early twentieth-century surveys of Islamic and Ottoman decorative arts. The composition presents one of the masterpieces of early Ottoman ceramic and architectural ornament. Richly adorned with Qur'anic inscriptions, geometric borders, floral arabesques, and luminous turquoise and cobalt tilework, the mihrab exemplifies the refined aesthetic developed in Bursa during the formative years of the Ottoman Empire. The tomb of Sultan Mehmed I—known as Çelebi Mehmed, the ruler who reunified the empire after the Ottoman Interregnum—stands among Bursa's most significant monuments. Its celebrated Green Tomb (Yeşil Türbe) remains one of the greatest achievements of fifteenth-century Islamic architecture. Raymond’s plate preserves these decorative details with exceptional precision while maintaining the artistic elegance characteristic of the original publication. Soft celadon, turquoise, and muted earth tones create an atmospheric image that appeals equally to collectors of Islamic art, architectural historians, designers, and admirers of Ottoman heritage. The intricate calligraphy and layered ornament make this one of the most visually compelling plates from the series. Original examples from *L’Art Islamique en Orient* are increasingly scarce on the market and remain highly desirable for both private collections and institutional holdings. Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate toning, scattered foxing, minor handling marks, and slight edge wear consistent with a century of age. Colors remain delicate and attractive. Please refer to photographs, which form part of the condition description. Framing Recommendations: Sold unframed. We recommend a dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory museum mat and UV-protective glazing. The restrained presentation complements the subtle palette while emphasizing the remarkable intricacy of the Ottoman tile...
