FAQs

A Persian copper charger tray is a circular metal plate produced using hand-hammering and chasing techniques known as Galamzani. Typically originating from regions such as Isfahan, these vessels feature detailed surface carving depicting animals, foliage, or calligraphic inscriptions.

Craftsmen shaped these chargers from sheet copper using hand tools, shaping the raised outer rim and scalloped border before working the central surface decoration. Artisans applied chasing and repousse chiselling to form detailed relief work directly into the metal face.

Authentic pieces feature slight irregularities from manual hand-tooling rather than uniform machine stamping. They demonstrate natural oxidisation and patina within the recessed carved lines, accompanied by traditional Middle Eastern botanical, figural, or geometric iconography.

An antique copper charger can be mounted on a wall as a focal art piece, leaned against a mantelpiece wall, or positioned flat on a sideboard as a base for small decorative objects.

Care involves gentle dusting with a soft dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive metal cleaners, as these strip away the natural historical patina and verdigris in the recessed tooling.
