Gav, I believe the koftgari pattern, and especially koftgari workmanship, application style and quality can tell a lot. Based on it, I believe it is Syrian work, but similar designs can be seen on Turkish and Kaucasian items. Persian and Indian style is usually more elaborate. I also agree with your age estimate.
Let's see what others say.
