Description
 It is hard to overstate the exceptional quality of this extraordinary micromosaic lacquer piece, which dates to the early 19th century and once had a mirror inset into the other side. The piece measures 10-1/2" X 14-1/4" and is in exceptional condition, with only a very few tiny losses in the corners. The design can be traced back at least as far as the 15th century, both in book covers as well as in early carpets. The piece most probably was made in Shiraz and dates, as I mentioned, to the early part of the 19th century (either Zand dynasty or early Qajar). As much of the lacquer is gold in color, the piece absolutely glows when a light is shone down on it from above. A real gem, offered here with a very low starting bid and no reserve. Shipping and handling in the US is $15; overseas will vary. Paypal and money orders ship within 24 hours; personal checks held until they have cleared. As with every item I sell, authenticity is absolutely guaranteed.
