Persian Silver compact

Post by JanGroen »

Good day
I have bought this beautiful silver compact today. I can't find any marks on it but think it may be Persian.
Any information would be welcome

::::: The button where you press to make the compact open and close. Can you analyze that button with a magnifying glass and see if you see tiny hallmarks imprinted upon it? :::::: I think I see something but I could be wrong. :::: Yes it does seem Persian or Indo-Persian :::::

Thank you for your reply. I have checked the button, can't find any markings. I even checked the body as I know sometimes markings could be hidden in the patterns. I will check in sunlight today for any scratched Farsi script as my unmarked pin cushion had some.

Hello Jannie

The dense vine and other floral images suggest Kashmiri work

This site has some good illustrations

Thank you Damon. Yes it is definitely Kashmir silver with those leaf designs.
