AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Carved brass repoussé plateau
Antique Kadjar/Qajar brass plateau, relief-embossed with repoussé, from the 19th century, with scrolled edges
Rare early collectible model from the early 19th century, possessing a superb patina.
Islamic plates often have a story to tell us—the reigns, legends, the Quran—leaving their mark in the engraving of these pieces of popular art metalwork.
This model tells the story of a king and his symbols of protection.
At the center of the plate, a king riding a harnessed horse, going on a hunt or to paradise (presence of the peacock). Behind him, a crouching woman.
Note the surrounding peacocks around the horse and this king, symbolizing immortality and renewal, in a vegetal and floral setting. Under the horse, two hounds, one with a human head.
A frieze of foliage closes the scene, leading to the rolled and scrolled edge.
Dimensions: Diameter 37.4 cm - Height 2.16 cm - excellent condition - Beautiful patina.
Provenance: Luxembourg, Galerie G.F.D.
Previously: Luxembourg collection of Ottoman art
