Cut to Death Hawkes Persian Tray – SOLD

This tray was cut in the early portion of the Brilliant Period by Hawkes in their Persian design. This piece is sharp as anything and almost hurts to hold. It’s a true testament of what could be acheived by these cutters.

Persian is setup very closely to the Russian design. The main difference lies in what is on each button – in this case, a clear-center hobstar. The pattern, with the countless intersecting cuts, reflects light and sparkles like a brilliant diamond.

This piece is in great condition with a couple of tiny fleabites in the cutting. It measures 11″ long, 7″ wide and a deep 2 1/4″ tall. The piece is wood wheel polished.
