Vase With Globular Body, Ht 83 Cm, Iran, Red Copper, Inverted Millefleurs Barques, 19th Century

Large red copper Islamic vase, 83 cm (32.5") high.
It is decorated throughout the body with inverted barks or reclining moons covering mille-fleurs and small stars.
Object engraved with a chisel, by hand.
The finesse and quality of the chasing show the dexterity of the engraver of this 19th century piece.
Original from Iran, Tabriz region.

Inverted chalice base supporting a belly-shaped belly, surmounted by a long ringed neck, ending in a chalice.
The belly is wonderfully worked.

A true masterpiece of Persian art!!!

These marvelous coppers and brasses, were under the Muslim dynasties, an eminent alternative to silver and they enjoyed the same status.
The color whose symbolism is the simplest to understand, is gold, its ties with the sun and gold made it an emblem of divine power, perfection and majesty.
The red of copper induces the blush of the sun as it sets.
These objects certainly lived on as the centerpieces of homes and palaces.
