Item Specifics
-
Country of Origin: Most likely Israel or Morocco. In the mid-20th century (1940s–1960s), both regions produced significant amounts of hammered brassware for the tourist and export markets. The style of the floral accents is particularly common in North African and early Israeli artisan metalwork.
-
Estimated Age: Mid-20th Century (Circa 1950s–1970s). The soldering on the back and the naturally aged patina suggest it is not a modern reproduction.
