Antique Indo-Persian Tinned Copper Lidded Jar Middle Eastern Islamic Art
Located in Moreno Valley, CA
Antique Indo-Persian Tinned Copper Jar Hand-Engraved Islamic Metalwork, c. 1900 A striking example of early 20th-century Indo-Persian artistry, this antique lidded jar is handcrafted from heavy tinned copper in the traditional Ghalamzani style—an ancient Persian technique of fine metal engraving. The bulbous body, slender neck, and flared lid are richly decorated with intricate floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs, along with medallions featuring musicians and couples, evoking Mughal and Islamic influences. The surface is intricately decorated with detailed floral, geometric, and calligraphic motifs, reflecting deep influences from Mughal design and Islamic decorative arts. The embossed and incised patterns shimmer over the darkened silver-toned tinned finish, catching the light with elegant shadows and reflections. The dark patina enhances the silver-toned tin finish, lending depth and contrast to the detailed repoussé and chased designs. A rare and refined collector’s piece, this jar captures the elegance and spiritual symbolism of Islamic decorative arts. Design Highlights: * Material: Tinned copper with blackened silver finish * Technique: Hand-engraved and repoussé (Ghalamzani / Qalamzani) * Motifs: Intricate floral vines, arabesques, Islamic geometry, and mythological scenes. * Base: Beautifully detailed brass with Mughal-style engravings Dimensions: * Total Height (with lid): approx. 18.5" * Width: approx. 7.5" * Lid Height: approx. 9" * Mouth Opening: approx. 2.75" This antique Persian vessel...

Chinese Bronze Scholar Vase with Taotie, Ming/Qing Dynasty, 17th century, China
Located in Austin, TX
A small and interesting cast bronze archaistic scholar vase with loose ring handles and taotie mask design, late Ming or early Qing Dynasty, mid 17th century, China. The small vase of archaistic hu form, and cast with archaistic designs. Sitting on a tall splayed ring foot, the round body is cast with a large band featuring a ferocious taotie (ogre) mask. The taotie mask in this case id decidedly feline, with a ruyi shaped snout above a whiskered mouth. Two flanges stick out to either side of the mask, reminiscent of ears.

The Fusang tree, home to the mythical Sun Bird...
