Basin. Brass inlaid with silver and copper. Levant, circa 1900. Height 12 Diameter 19 cm. This basin with its "three-metal" decoration (brass, silver and copper) is decorated with a central register of thuluth calligraphy cartouches alternating with medallions of floral decoration. On either side of this register are friezes of interlacing and a frieze of fleurons in the lower part. This type of piece is part of the trend known as "mamelouk revival", that is to say in the continuity of the style of the medieval mameloukes metals. Expert : Mr Alexis RENARD
