Question Beautiful

Hi Kubur, they are exquisite. Excuse my ignorance, but how old is "early" in Ottoman pistols? I have looked at many pics of Ottoman pistols, but I have never seen anything like them in shape or decoration.

It is funny (or sad) that when you compare old to newer pieces, what really gets lost with time is not the craft or quality, but mainly the esthetics...Just the right amount of decoration, harmonious color combinations, the elegance..I can not think of a logical reason.
