[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2349207, member: 2844"]I am not an expert, but I love Persian arts and artifacts. So, yes, it is Persian, my guess is first half of the 20th century. The scene, with an abundance of flowers and birds, refers to Paradise. The Persian tree of life is very similar to their Paradise imagery, it has different flowers blooming on the same tree, and birds on the branches. So the term sounds fine to me. It is amazing how little those appraisers know about Persian crafts. It is tinned copper, which is used a lot in Iran. Tinned copper means it is copper with a thin layer of tin, that is the silvery colour you see. Tibetan silver is a recent (Chinese) seller's term for a silvertone copper alloy. It should not be part of an antique appraiser's vocabulary.
