A Silver Filigree Hookah Set.
Height 65.5cms.
Probably Mid 19th Century.
Sold by Michael Backman.
He suggests Orissa (Cuttack or Deccan, Karimnagar).
A truly remarkable princely piece of the very finest virtuoso Indian workmanship.

Once again I am very grateful to Michael Backman for permission to use his material.
I don't usually like to express an opinion but for my money this one of the finest pieces I have come across.
