Surya Rutten

Splendid antique Islamic Ottoman rich and solver silver zarf from ca. 1890.
A zarf is a holder for a coffee cup. In Ottoman society, drinking coffee was a refined and ritualised affair. The cups were functional, usually inconspicuously designed in porcelain or glass (or even wood). This is a decorative holder, made of solid silver and it probably belonged to a rich family.
It has an exceptional quality, as testified by the hand-engraved details of several mosques.
The zarf is unmarked, but it definitely is of a very good quality and dates to around 1890, the period of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (his portrait is depicted).
There is no stamp, but is made of 100% real 925 silver-tested. 
Rim diameter  54 mm.
50 mm high 
Weighs  26.5 gr
Condition very good
Made of 925 silver (tested)
Will be sent insured and by registered mail.
Good luck. 

In perfect condition, 925 solid silver
