Persian silver refers to finely crafted silverware produced in Iran, historically prized for its intricate engraving, repoussé work, and richly detailed motifs inspired by Persian art and mythology. Artisans traditionally decorated trays, bowls, tea services, and jewelry with scenes of hunting, court life, or floral arabesques, often incorporating calligraphic script and symbolic creatures like simurghs and lions. Cities like Isfahan and Shiraz became renowned centers for silversmithing, where craftsmen hammered and chased patterns by hand, creating pieces that balanced delicate elegance with technical precision. Persian silver is valued not only for its material but for the cultural storytelling embedded in each design, reflecting centuries of artistic heritage and metalworking mastery.
