Antique Persian Copper Ewer 19th C. Repousse Hunt Scene Figures Animals Ornate

Magnificent Antique 19th Century Persian Copper Ewer - Ornate Repoussé Hunt Scene. From Hamptons Collectibles - Purveyors of Fine Vintage Items and Antiques. Immerse yourself in the rich artistry of the Middle East with this captivating antique Persian copper ewer, dating to the 19th Century. This exceptional piece is a testament to the sophisticated metalworking traditions of the Qajar era or surrounding period, showcasing intricate hand-worked details and a deep, storied patina.

The ewer's bulbous body is lavishly adorned with a dynamic repoussé (hand-hammered) hunt scene. This traditional technique creates a stunning three-dimensional effect, bringing the narrative to life. Figural Representations: Human figures, some possibly on horseback, are depicted amidst the chase, adding a dynamic storytelling element. Other figures may be seated or interacting within the scene.

Animal Motifs: A variety of animals, including what appear to be graceful deer or gazelles, and potentially other wild creatures, are intricately rendered, captured in motion. Lush Foliage & Scrollwork: The entire scene is interwoven with dense, stylized floral patterns, scrolling vines, and leafy branches, filling the background and creating a rich tapestry of design.

Decorative Bands: A distinct, patterned band encircles the neck or shoulder of the ewer, adding another layer of ornamental detail. This piece is not merely a vessel but a work of art, telling a story through its meticulously crafted metalwork. The skill required to create such detailed repoussé work is truly remarkable. This ewer is an antique item and bears the beautiful marks of its age and history. It possesses a rich, deep copper patina that has developed over more than a century. Overall, the ewer presents very well, with the repoussé work remaining crisp and detailed.

There is a notable area of green patina (verdigris) concentrated at the top of the handle where it joins the rim of the ewer's mouth (clearly visible in photos, #5). This concentration is common in antique copper and brass where different pieces of metal are joined (possibly with solder historically) or where moisture may have collected over time. While it has the appearance some might associate with an old repair, it's a characteristic feature of aged copper in such areas.

The interior also shows signs of age and patina. Expected minor dings, surface wear, and irregularities consistent with a handcrafted antique piece of this age are present and contribute to its authentic character. We strongly encourage you to examine all provided photographs. As they are an integral part of this description and best illustrate the ewer's condition, intricate details, and patina. Overall Height: 5 1/2 inches approx.

Diameter (at widest point of body): 6 inches approx. This charmingly sized ewer would make a stunning decorative piece, a focal point in a collection of Islamic or Middle Eastern art, or a unique accent in a sophisticated interior.
