The face of the tray is elaborately decorated with hand-chased and engraved ghalamzani ornamentation, where the artisan has incised through the silvery tin wash to expose the warm, reddish copper core beneath. At the center lies a swirling rosette medallion framed by a multi-lobed floral cartouche, encircled by dense arabesques, undulating leafy tendrils, and blossom motifs. The outer perimeter transitions to an angled cavetto and terminates in an eight-sided scalloped rim, providing both visual rhythm and structural rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe underside showcases traditional circular hammer marks and hand-spun finishing concentric rings typical of artisanal workshop production, displaying authentic signs of age, light surface wear, and mellow oxidation. Whether deployed as an elegant tabletop tea tray, a decorative centerpiece, or mounted as an architectural wall charger, the piece carries timeless geometric elegance and cultural artistry. This piece measures approximately 1 inch in height, 15 inches in width, 15 inches in length, and weighs 2.8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patina \u0026 Prose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889473368221,"sku":"PP-100625-03","price":128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4923\/2285\/files\/vintage-hand-chased-tinned-copper-octagonal-tray-with-persian-arabesque-engraving_01.png?v=1790482869","url":"https:\/\/patinaandprose.com\/products\/vintage-hand-chased-tinned-copper-octagonal-tray-with-persian-arabesque-engraving","provider":"Patina \u0026 Prose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
