Description from the seller
Antique copper samovar – 19th century, Kashmir area (Pakistan-India)
Magnificent copper samovar, once internally stagnant, originating from the Kashmir area (between Pakistan and India), datable with good certainty to the 19th century.
The conditions are excellent considering its age and original domestic use. The rich patina and the refined chromatic alternation between copper and tin give the object an ancient and authentic charm, making it a decorative element of great elegance and character, perfect for enhancing both classic and contemporary environments.
This samovar is an object of history and culture, a testament to an era when the art of metal was at the service of daily life.
Height: 33 cm
Width (handles included): 30 cm
Curiosity
The samovar is a traditional metal container used to heat water in Russia and various countries in Asia, including Iran, Kashmir, and Turkey.
The origin of the samovar is still debated: some scholars attribute it to Central Asia, while others attribute it to Russia — from which the name also derives.
Old models, like this one, were powered by coal, while modern models are electric.
An authentic antique object, rich in charm and history, perfect for collectors or lovers of decor with an oriental flavor.
