A beautifully hand-decorated vintage urn-form vase featuring raised silver and copper inlay over a richly patinated brass body. This piece was crafted in the mid-20th century using traditional damascening / koftgari techniques, where fine silver and copper wire or strip are carefully applied and worked into the surface, creating a tactile, dimensional pattern you can both see and feel.
The design draws inspiration from classical Islamic metalwork, with intricate interlacing motifs, scrolling arabesques, and medallion elements arranged in balanced bands around the form. The contrast between the darkened brass ground and the softly gleaming raised silver creates a refined, timeworn elegance.
Unlike flat etched decoration, the silver and copper here has a subtle relief, catching the light and giving the piece added depth and craftsmanship.
The elegant urn silhouette—with flared rim and gently tapering body—makes it a versatile decorative object, equally at home in traditional, bohemian, or collected interiors.
