This large antique engraved copper tray is a striking example of Middle Eastern metalwork, featuring an intricately detailed figural court scene, architectural elements, floral motifs, and Arabic calligraphy. The composition is framed by a decorative border and anchored by a beautifully rendered bird motif near the base.

Hand hammered and finely engraved, the tray displays exceptional craftsmanship throughout, with dense patterning and storytelling imagery characteristic of Persian and Ottoman decorative arts. The surface shows a rich, time earned patina that enhances the depth and character of the engraving.

Originally functional, this piece now works beautifully as wall mounted decorative art, with hanging hardware present on the reverse. Its large scale and detailed narrative scene make it an impressive focal point for interiors ranging from traditional to eclectic, bohemian, or globally inspired spaces.
