Antique Copper Middle Eastern/Persian Water Ewer

Description

Antique Copper Middle Eastern / Persian Water Ewer – Hand-Carved with Intricate Detail

This beautifully crafted antique copper water ewer is a striking example of Middle Eastern/Persian metalwork, likely dating to the 19th or early 20th century.
