For sale is this extremely fine quality antique Persian Qajar tray. The tray dates from mid-late 1800\'s. I believe it is made from low grade silver. When tested with acid, it doe not show up as high grade silver. This is because old 19th century Persian silver was nearly always low grade. The Russians/Soviet Union introduce higher grade silver into Persia in the early 1900\'s. This tray was made before that.
If you look at the last few photos, I scraped a little of the back of the tray, and it isdefinitelya silver coloured metal, so this tray is NOT silver plated over brass etc. So I am selling this tray as low grade silver / white metal.
Now onto the designs. There are various scenes beautifully hand chased all by hand. There are people seated, pouring drinks, playing instruments, smoking a hookah etc. It has traditional old Persian scenes beautifully completed by hand. The level of detail is remarkable on this tray.
The facial details and clothing have all been completed to a ridiculously high standard. However if you look very closely you can see the extremely fine quality shading the maker has done to make it look so realistic. The shadow work is to the finest standards, and only the finest master would have been able to complete it to this quality.
There are further scenes of birds and rabbits, along with scrolling floral branches all over the tray.
The size of the tray is very large : 57.7cm X 37cm. To do all of this work on such a large tray and to such a magnificent standard must have taken the highest efforts and dedication by the master silversmith who completed this.
This is remarkable piece of Persian silverware, so do not miss your chance to offer. This sort of item certainly does not come along every day, and I have not seen one like this on for a very very very long time.
The tray is not hallmarked - collectors of Persian silver know that old 19th century silverware was almost never hallmarked or signed.SizeThe length of the tray is a massive 57.7cmThe width of the tray is 37cm
The trays weighs an enormous 1749 grams!!!
