Antique, preowned, and handcrafted. Heavy aged patina with natural green and brown oxidation. Lid hinge and handle are riveted by hand and function properly. Surface shows hammer marks, small dings, and color variation typical of genuine 19th-century handmade metalwork. No modern repairs observed.

Antique Middle Eastern dallah coffee pot dating to at least the 1800s, if not older. Handmade with traditional riveted construction and hand-hammered body. The metal appears to be brass or possibly high-copper brass, I am not certain whether it is pure brass or copper due to its warm reddish-gold tone and strong metallic scent. It has a tall finial lid, long curved spout, and geometric etched band around the shoulder. The piece shows deep natural patina from more than a century of age and authentic tool marks from hand forging.

These early utilitarian dallahs were used to brew and pour Arabic coffee (qahwa) and symbolize hospitality throughout the Arabian Peninsula. This example predates later tourist or decorative reproductions and represents authentic Bedouin or Ottoman-era craftsmanship.
