Description
The illustration shows an 18th century “Brasero” (Daggar), a piece of domestic copper metalwork intended to hold embers for heating or preparing tea. With its chiseled decorations and its raised base, this brazier symbolizes the warmth of the home and the conviviality of traditional family gatherings. It highlights the excellence of the coppersmith artisans of Tunis who knew how to transform utilitarian objects into real elements of interior decor, marking the peak of an era of artisanal prosperity.
