Vintage Persian Iran Map Copper Plate 10.25" Hand Engraved Qalamzani Striking vintage Persian copper decorative plate featuring a hand-worked map of Iran. The center is clearly engraved 'IRAN,' with surrounding regional/place names rendered in Persian script. Detailed punched and engraved textures fill the areas around the map, with bright silver-tone accents contrasting against the warm copper surface. The technique is consistent with traditional Persian qalamzani-style metal engraving. This appears to be a vintage Iranian decorative/tourist art piece, likely dating to the mid-to-late 20th century. The plate measures 10.25 inches in diameter and weighs 504 grams. It has some dents and surface wear from age, which are shown in the photos, but remains an eye-catching piece for Persian, Iranian, Middle Eastern, map, or travel-art collections.
