Ottoman Silver Incense-burner Stamped with the Tughra of Sultan Selim III (R. 1789-1807).
Turkey.
Reign of Sultan Selim III (r. 1789-1807).
Height: 13.8 cm.
Of bulbous form, the covered body of the burner sits on a circular dish. The cover, body and dish all stamped with the tughra of Sultan Selim III. The dome-shaped cover is decorated with openwork decoration.
It is a beautiful example of late 18th, early 19th century Ottoman metalwork which display graceful simplicity. An incense-burner of similar form, sitting on a circular dish is found in the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum, Istanbul. An almost identical incense-burner bearing the tughra of Sultan Mustafa IV (r. 1807-1808) is published in Garo Kürkman’s Ottoman Silver Marks, Istanbul, 1996, p. 182
