AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful, matching pair of two antique, hand-forged copper plates from the late Ottoman period (circa 1880 - 1920). These plates originate from Central Anatolia (present-day Turkey) and offer a fascinating glimpse into historic Islamic craftsmanship.
The front of the plates is hand-decorated with refined, traditional engravings of stylized tulip and foliate motifs. The back clearly shows the authentic, artisanal hammer marks (kalan). Very notable is that one of the plates on the back is equipped with an original circular rosette inspection stamp from the village workshop; a detail highly valued by collectors.
The plates are in a beautiful, well-worn antique condition with a characteristic patina. The front shows the warm glow of the copper, while at the edges and on the back the original, dark residues of the historical tinning (kalay), which at the time served to protect the copper during food preparation, can still be seen. No major dents or cracks, light signs of aging in line with their age.
