PERSIAN SIGNED TINNED COPPER CHARGER WALL PLAQUE - A 20th-century Persian (Iranian) tinned copper charger or wall plaque. The circular vessel features a crimped, scalloped rim and is extensively decorated using the traditional ghalamzani chasing and repoussé technique. The central medallion depicts an unusual terrace gathering of three seated figures, notably featuring a bearded man wearing spectacles and smoking a long pipe, set against a background of twisted columns, potted plants, distant domed architecture, and a celestial orb. This central scene is framed by a wide border of interlocking lobed cartouches filled with dense floral and arabesque motifs. An engraved Persian signature is situated within a crescent-shaped cartouche in the lower foreground register. The heavily oxidized reverse is fitted with an applied iron hanging loop for wall mounting. Middle Eastern metalwork, Islamic art, repousse tray, vintage wall hanging, Iranian decor, chased brass, Qajar style.. Dimensions D: 30 1/2 in. All measurements are approximate. Condition The charger exhibits moderate surface wear, oxidation, and rubbing to the tinned finish, exposing the underlying copper on the high points and rim edges. The reverse displays typical dark oxidation and heavy rust to the applied iron hanging hardware. No significant dents, punctures, or structural repairs are visible. Condition appears consistent with age.
