Early 18th Century

Egypt/Syria

18.5 x 13 x 19 (WxDxH Cms)

Of regular form, each with a sloping base and high tapered sides joined at the top and surmounted with a suspension ring, the bases with a central openwork rosette, the sides and top element decorated with engraved floral rosettes foliate work.

In acceptable overall condition, with some rubbing to the gilding, particularly to the undersides, as viewed.

Footnotes:
These stirrups display a closely worked floral design on both sides in the contour reservée technique, which stems from the Mamluk style of the fifteenth century. The framed medallions, floral scrolls and arched foot design are typical of the Mamluk and Ottoman period of the seventeenth century and later. An almost identical pair has been published in Mohamed 2007, p.357.
