For sale we have this very rare HUGE antique Islamic Damascus incense burner cover. The cover would have belonged to a very large incense burner. This is NOT one of the new reproduction pieces you find. Genuine old large incense burners are EXTREMELY rare. I have only ever ...owned one myself. Normally they are small. However this cover belonged to a very large example.
It sates from early 1900's or so. The brass domed open work body has been inlaid with magnificent silver and copper inlay work. There are panels of thick Arabic Thuluth script and breathtakingly detailed geometric arabesque motifs.
There is stunning floral inlay work near the base and the top. The combination of silver and copper inlay has been used brilliantly on this example. The design is very well thought out and the maker was clearly a master in this field.
This is an extremely fine and rare and very decorative work of art - do not miss out on your chance to bid!
Size
The height of the incense burner cover is 29cm = 11.4 inches.The diameter is 27cm = 10.6 inches.
The incense burner cover is in excellent condition.
Please see the photos shown above. Returns are accepted if you believe the item has been wrongly described in any way at all. So for this reason I am always willing to offer a no hassle full refund if this occurs including the initial postage price. The cost of posting the item back and the responsibility to make sure it is in its original condition is down to the buyer.
