Description

The dallah is much more than a simple coffee pot: it is an emblematic work of art of Arab culture, used to prepare and serve coffee in the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf.

Closely associated with the coffee ritual, the dallah is a powerful symbol of Arab hospitality.

Probably emerging in the 16th century, the dallah is inseparable from the introduction of coffee into the Ottoman Empire. However, its distinctive shape might date back to the 17th century. This masterpiece is subsequent to the Turkish cezve and the Ethiopian jebena.

The dallah embodies the tradition of hospitality among Arab peoples. Offering coffee with a dallah is a gesture of welcome and respect. Any failure to adhere to this ritual can be seen as an affront. Present in homes, it is a symbol of pride and identity.

With its bulbous body, long crescent-shaped spout, and sinuous handle, the dallah is a marvel of design. Made of brass, steel, silver, or even 24-carat gold for special occasions, it is often adorned with traditional motifs such as swirls, diamonds, flowers, and cardamom pods. Although artisanal production is in decline, it remains a valuable testimony to ancestral craftsmanship.

The dallah is so iconic that it appears on one-dirham coins of the United Arab Emirates and decorates many urban spaces. In souks and souvenir shops, it symbolizes the life and culture of the Arabian Peninsula.

Owning a dallah is to possess a piece of Arab history and art, celebrating a tradition of hospitality that endures through the ages. This magnificent object is a centerpiece for any collector passionate about Middle Eastern art and culture.
