Engraved Silver on Copper Ghalamzani, 8 Piece Bowl and Plate Set: Middle Eastern Art Deco

Hand-engraved silver on copper from the 1920s–30s, this 8-piece Middle Eastern bowl and plate set balances warm metalwork with Art Deco symmetry. The shimmer of silver against copper isn’t just a contrast — it’s a conversation between light and warmth. Made for tables where every serving feels intentional, this set holds presence whether it cradles fruit, desserts, or nothing at all.

Crafted by hand in the early 20th century, each bowl and plate features traditional Middle Eastern metalwork techniques: copper base, detailed engraving, and silver-tone overlay. The two-tone design glints differently with each shift in light, marrying regional craftsmanship with early Art Deco symmetry. Rare to find intact and complete.
