Help with a probably French candle holder.

Can someone help me with this beautiful decorated candle holder? Under the base is marked depose and a stylized letter P.
Thanks again

 

I thought it was middle eastern until I saw the "depose" underneath. Can't find a JP or a PJ with my limited info but others might know.

 

I wonder if it was made in France and then exported to Persia or Arab countries.

 

It is more likely Orientalist French. Orientalism in art comes and goes, and it was highly fashionable during the mid-late 19th century.
Contrary to the name, Orientalism often includes designs and motifs from North Africa, south of Europe.

I did some research after Any's advice. It seems very close to the Mamaluk style in vogue in France after the Napoleonic conquests. Unfortunately I was unable to find any indication on the JP monogram

 

I suspect this is a later revival of the style, late 19th century perhaps?

 

Yes, I think so too. I wonder why a poor metal has been used in an object that has such a rich decoration.
