19th Century Bronze Islamic Coffee Pot – Museum Referenced, 8″

£ 95.00

On offer is a rare and beautifully crafted 19th-century bronze coffee pot, richly decorated in Islamic style with hand-chased and embossed arabesque patterns. This exceptional vessel is both sculptural and symbolic, reflecting the rich cultural and artistic traditions of Central Asia.

Nearly identical to an example held in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Object No. 91.1.545), this piece is likely attributed to Yarkand or Tashkent, in the region of present-day Uzbekistan or Western China. The Met’s version includes a lid; this offering is 8 inches tall and lacks the lid, though its form and decoration remain fully intact and highly evocative.

📌 Key Features:
✅ Embossed and chased bronze – intricate floral and geometric detailing
✅ Classic Islamic form with flared foot and crescent-topped spout
✅ Condition: Structurally sound with wear and patina consistent with age; missing lid and wear to rim
✅ Museum-referenced example – documented by The Met
✅ Size: 8 inches tall
✅ Deep patination – untouched original surface

💡 Styling Tip:
Style this vessel on a shelf or sideboard with other antique brass or Middle Eastern decor — or display under a glass cloche as a standalone objet d’art.

🎁 Perfect For:
✔️ Collectors of Islamic metalwork
✔️ Curators or educators building museum-quality displays
✔️ Lovers of travel-inspired or global decor
✔️ Decorative storytelling in boho, eclectic, or scholarly interiors

🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes:
This form and decorative language are tied to 19th-century metalwork from Central Asia, specifically attributed by The Met to Yarkand, Tashkent, or broader Uzbekistan/Western China. Similar pieces were crafted for both daily use and ceremonial purposes, blending Persian and Turkic aesthetics with regional symbolism.
