Lot 768 A LARGE OTTOMAN SILVER PLATED SAMOVAR, LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A classic metal water boiler, historically common across the Ottoman Empire, Russia, and Central Asia. Crafted from silver-plated brass or copper, it features a bulbous body adorned with intricate Ottoman-style repoussé floral and arabesque patterns. The tall, detachable chimney vents steam and supports combustion. Ornate side handles and a spout enable easy handling and dispensing. The pedestal base, with claw feet and ventilation holes, ensures stability and airflow. The lower fuel chamber—typically for charcoal or wood—heats the water above. Height : 65 cm
