Description from the seller
Rare and imposing metal container painted with sculptural iron handles – 19th century
Extraordinary metal container cauldron, with iron handles shaped like mythological animals, decorative metal feet, likely of Middle Eastern origin. Originally entirely hand-painted, it still retains authentic traces of color and an ancient patina of extraordinary beauty, telling over a century of history and use.
The refinement of the handle carving and the solidity of the structure testify to a high-level artisanal craftsmanship. Dated to the nineteenth century, it represents a rare object of great decorative value, capable of transforming any environment thanks to its scenic presence and timeless charm.
Perfect as an independent decorative element, ideal for entryways, lounges, or eclectic-style environments, where it can be displayed as a centerpiece, flower holder, or collectible art object.
Dimensions: height 40 cm – diameter 60 cm.
