Ottoman-Style Mosque Tin, Gilt and Purple Lithograph, Unmarked, Circa 1900s-1920s
$40.00 USD
Rectangular metal tin lithographed in gilt and purple with an Orientalist design: a domed mosque with three minarets and stars inside a four-lobed purple panel, framed by fine gilt arabesque scrollwork and side borders of star-in-circle medallions. The visible panel carries no maker name or lettering, so the tin is identified by its imagery. Dates to approximately 1900s-1920s. Gilt remains bright, with fine scratches, edge darkening and light wear at the corners.
