OLD CAIRO WARE MAMLUK REVIVAL TRAY SILVER CALLIGRAPHY ISLAMIC 1880 80 CM! Base material is brass - masterfully inlayed all over the surface with silver wire and red copper enhancements.

LOTS of fine Arabic calligraphy with Koran scripts - beautiful flowing lines - the surface is also engraved with geometric and floral designs. Excellent condition for the age - the back padded with old felt for surface protection - very mild ware and no losses - please inspect detailed pictures - the entire surface is bright and clean - any dark areas seen in the pictures are reflections! We have taken pictures before and after cleaning to show how oxidated the silver was - it cleaned beautifully as you can see - the 2 last pictures show the estate condition before cleaning. For scale, we also took a picture with a remote control measuring 21.5 cm long, just to give an idea on how imposing the tray is. It measures a VERY IMPRESSIVE 80.4 cm in diameter - weight is about 6.2 kg!
