EXCEPTIONAL ANTIQUE ORNATE ARABIAN DALLAH COFFEE POT/ COPPER, BRASS

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WE OFFER THIS LOVELY ANTIQUE BEDOUIN DALLAH/ COFFEE POT. IT HAS NO MAKER'S MARKS THAT WE COULD FIND.

HAND CRAFTED WITH BRASS AND COPPER, THE METAL WORK IS BEAUTIFUL. THE SHAPE IS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE ARABIAN PENINSULA AND IT DATES TO LATE 1800'S-EARLY 1900'S. THE DALLAH IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCHES OR EVIDENCE OF REPAIR WORK. THERE IS A CHAIN HANGING ON THE SIDE WHICH WE FIRST THOUGHT WAS AN ADD-ON BUT THERE WAS PROBABLY SOME KIND OF CHARM ON IT AT ONE TIME. IN FACT, THERE IS SOMETHING RATTLING AROUND IN THE LID AND MY THOUGHT IS THAT IT IS THE CHARM THAT BELONGS ON THE CHAIN. IT PROBABLY CAME OFF AND SOMEONE STORED IT IN THE LID FOR SAFE KEEPING. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE LID OPENS UP--OR DID AT ONE TIME--IT'S PRETTY MUCH STUCK SHUT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. MY PARTNER DISAGREES BECAUSE WHY WOULD THE LID OPEN UP?

AND SHE'S RIGHT---IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. SHE SAYS THE NOISE MAY BE RUST PARTICLES FROM OXIDATION. WE DID NOT TRY TO OPEN IT FOR FEAR OF DOING DAMAGE. ALL PARTS LOOK TO BE ORIGINAL. INSIDE THE RIM THERE WAS ONCE A SMALL BAND OF COPPER WHICH IS MOSTLY GONE BUT THE LID STILL SITS STRAIGHT.

THE DALLAH STANDS 10 1/2"AND SIDE TO SIDE IS 9". The item "EXCEPTIONAL ANTIQUE ORNATE ARABIAN DALLAH COFFEE POT/ COPPER, BRASS" is in sale since Sunday, February 21, 2016.
