Historic Quran with gilded pages
This historical Quran was meticulously transcribed by scholars in Bukhara City 166 years ago. It was written using a wooden pen on high-quality paper. Each page is bordered with gold, while on some pages, gold ink gleams all over. Through immigration, it has traveled from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan, and now it is in the United States.

Hi Suhaila ,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
If you are interested in selling this, I would highly recommend working with an auction house that has a dedicated department to Islamic works of art...this is too refined an object to go through a general auction house that would not have the expertise and global reach to get a suitably high price for this. I am happy to provide you with some names of auction houses to reach out to.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
