About the Item

An exquisite antique Persian silver centerpiece bowl, meticulously hand-engraved in the Qajar style, featuring a series of deeply detailed scenes of musicians, poets, and courtly lovers surrounded by lush floral and architectural designs. Each vignette captures the elegance of Persian art and culture during the late 19th to early 20th century, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and storytelling through silverwork. The bowl rests on an ornate pedestal base, fully decorated with chased scrolls and floral motifs, while the rim features a scalloped edge with intricate borders. The artistry throughout is of high quality, demonstrating traditional Persian techniques of repoussé and fine chasing. This piece is made of approximately 80–90% silver purity, typical of Persian silver from the Qajar to early Pahlavi periods, and bears a Persian hallmark on the base. It has been tested for silver and left with its original untouched patina, which enhances its historic authenticity and visual depth. Dimensions: 10 inches across × 9 inches tall Material: Solid Silver (approx. 80–90% purity, tested) Origin: Persia (Iran) Period: Late Qajar to Early Pahlavi, circa late 19th–early 20th century Condition: Very good antique condition; natural patina preserved, no repairs or major dents This is a museum-quality Persian silver centerpiece, representing the finest traditions of Qajar-era decorative metalwork — perfect for collectors of antique Islamic art, Persian silver, or Middle Eastern decorative arts.
