RARE MUSEUM QUALITY ANTIQUE PERSIAN ISLAMIC DAMASCUS SILVER INLAID EWER + BASIN

This item was originally listed to end on Sunday 17th January. However I ended the listing, but relisted it so that it will end the following Sunday, on the 24th January. This breathtaking set is made from brass but has been beautifully inlaid with silver and copper. The set dates from late 1800's - early 1900's. The ewer and basin have been covered with stunning Arabic calligraphy and arabesque motifs in the form of silver inlay.

The calligraphy completed with silver inlay on the ewer is of an unbelievably high standard. There are beautiful little birds inlaid with silver and chased as well for immense detail. Lovely arabesque and floral motifs on the ewer too. The basin has been adorned with silver inlay. Stunning calligraphy covers the surface along with motifs and a beautiful interlocking pattern.

The basin also has the original cover. The quality of the set is remarkable. The photos really do this ewer and basin no justice at all. It is much more beautiful in real life. So do not miss out on the chance of purchasing this Museum Quality ewer and basin set.

The height of the ewer is 32cm. The diameter of the basin is 32cm = 12.6 inches. The height of the basin is 7cm = 2.8 inches. Total height with ewer and basin on top of each other is 40cm = 15.7 inches. The ewer and basin are both in very good condition.

There are some and copper inlay losses in small areas due to age. The ewer has a few very small minor dents to the body.

I have tried to show them in the photos, but they are impossible to see with the naked eye. You can only notice the dents if you touch it. Please see the photos shown below.
