REFERENCES: A small tray with a similar Armenian silver filigree artwork, made by an Armenian silversmith from Aleppo, is published in "Samples of Armenian Silver Work Varuzhan and Raida Dovlatyan Collection", page 77. No.64.
The silver filigree of this characteristic pattern was made by Armenian silversmiths during the 19th-early 20th century in the Ottoman Empire in Vilayet in Aleppo, where large Armenian communities played an important cultural and business role for the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.
