AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fine Engraved Charger with Figural Garden Scene
A large circular tray, entirely hand-engraved with a finely detailed figural scene set within a central eight-pointed star (khatam-style geometric frame). The scene depicts a group of figures in Qajar-period dress in a garden setting — one raising a vessel overhead, another holding a basket of fruit or bread, two seated figures in conversation, with cypress and blossoming trees, architectural elements in the background, and small birds and floral motifs filling the spandrels of the star.
The wide outer border continues the fine engraving with dense scrolling arabesque, birds, and floral sprays on a stippled ground. The reverse bears a hanging loop and an inscription in red script [describe honestly — appears to be a later added mark/inventory number/dedication in what may be Persian or Arabic script; not verified or translated].
This quality and style of engraving — figural genre scenes framed by geometric star motifs — is closely associated with 19th-century Qajar style engraved metalware workshops, notably Isfahan.
Details

Seller's Story
Our rugs come directly from Morocco. My partner lives in Khenifra, in the heart of the Middle Atlas mountains — one of the historic centres of Moroccan rug weaving — and sources every single piece himself, in person, from the Berber families who weave them there on traditional looms.
Nothing is bought in bulk or through intermediaries. Each rug is selected by hand — wool quality, density of the weave and the dyes are checked before purchase — and then described honestly, including small repairs, minor irregularities or natural signs of age, which are part of the character of a handmade piece.
Our focus is Beni Ourain, Azilal, Boujaad, Zayane and vintage Moroccan flatweaves (kilim / hanbel). For most pieces we can tell you the region of origin, the approximate age and the materials used.
All rugs are professionally cleaned before dispatch, carefully packed and shipped worldwide with tracking. Questions before bidding are always welcome — we answer quickly.
