@Any Jewelry .......

 

I love this. I have the perfect spot for it

 

It is beautiful. Made in Iran post-1950. The border is decorated motifs from the walls of the ancient city of Persepolis.
The central part is a sacred scene from the ancient religion of Iran, Zoroastrianism. It depicts an archangel with musicians (beauty) and Zoroastrian fire pots, symbols of things sacred.
Zoroastrian fire symbolism is vast and complicated, but it is always connected with creation and everything sacred.

 

Next to your beautiful pitcher?

 

Yes!!!!!! You read my mind. I nearly posted that comment myself. They would look amazing next to each other. I just love that style

 

So do I. Some time ago I posted a thread about a car that was entirely engraved with Persian designs. I can't find it now.

 

Wow!!! AJ if I was looking to buy a genuine antique in this style where would I start my search?

 

Keyword is Qajar, or Qajar dynasty. Most Qajar metalwork is copper, like your pitcher.
Stay away from the Persepolis designs on metal, lovely though they are, they are not antique.

 

Thank you. I'm going to start my search. I will keep you posted on anything interesting I may come across

 

Yay!

 

Wow!!! thanks so much! great information!

 

You're welcome, antiquelover.

 

U could also throw up a post on the wanted thread , here !
That way...if by chance , someone came along with an item to offer you.........we could vet it on the spot !!!!!

Eh..huh...eh....... wat-d-ya think of that ????

 

That's a really good idea. Thanks!!!

Is it possible to come across antique earrings from this era? Just a thought.

 

It is, but they are a different style. Very beautiful though, google Qajar jewellery.
