Persian Hand-Engraved Tin Wall Plates – Set of 2, Iran c.1940

Two plates walk into a room. Everyone stops talking. That's the energy these bring.

This is a matched pair of Persian hand-engraved decorative wall plates from Iran, circa 1940 — and they are absolutely dripping in detail. We're talking intricate geometric star patterns radiating from the centre, surrounded by layer upon layer of filigree-style scrollwork that looks like it was engraved by someone with infinite patience, a very steady hand, and absolutely nothing else to do for six months. The border is a repeating arch motif that frames the whole composition like a tiny architectural masterpiece.

The reverse of each plate features a small hanging ring and what appears to be a Persian maker's inscription — because of course it does. These plates didn't just happen; they were made.
