A Must for Collectors Of Cairoware , Mamluk Revival , Persian & Islamic Art in General. 1900's Damascus / Cairo. The technique of silver and copper inlay was revived in the late 1700's and 1800's in the Islamic world.

The process is difficult and requires several stages of mastery. Indeed after the item has been cast or hammered into shape it is then covered in the calligraphy and patterns. After this difficult stage the brass/bronze is carved & engraved by hand. Finally the silver and copper is hammered into the carved areas. Please see all the 12 ENLARGED pictures. Condition-wise some general wear and small losses of inlay. 27.5 inches (70 cm) diameter. Please look at all pictures to truly appreciate the beauty of this item!
