Description

Aftabeh originated in Persia in very early times and spread all over Asia. It was customary to have brass or copper Aftabeh-Lagan (pitcher and wash basin) for guests to wash their hands and face before meals. This practice became popular all over Persia, central Asia and the Near East.

The Aftabeh – Legan offered here is made of heavy brass richly decorated with many medallions and Arabic inscriptions inlaid in Silver and copper, copying earlier style of the Mamluk design work, also known as: Mamluk Revival Style.

Total height 18 inched (46 cm). Weight 3.1 KG. Very fine condition. Excellent exemplar for silver inlay work. Syria, early 20C.
