Dallah by Nouri Marzouq
£700.00
This spectacular dallah is marked with the stamp of Nouri Marzouq, also transliterated as Noori Marzouk (نوري مرزوق), the master metalworker of Ha’il under the House of Rashid. It is of the classic form, with a perfect square-tooth seam joining the upper and lower parts, and in a remarkable display of craftsmanship, the handle follows the curve of the lower section of the dallah without quite touching.
An understated but unique piece, it would perhaps benefit from minor restoration as the lid does not close entirely flush. Otherwise, the normal marks from over a century of use, but a solid and usable dallah with an outstanding pedigree.
32cm in height.
