‘Outstanding … a valuable addition to the literature on Islamic art’ Asia – Art – Culture
Metalwork from the Arab World and the Mediterranean presents vessels, fittings and other objects from the early Islamic period through to the end of the Ottoman era in the nineteenth century. All drawn from the unparalleled al-Sabah Collection, the pieces include exquisite platters, serving-vessels, candlesticks and pen-boxes produced for royal courts, but also many beautifully decorated bronze domestic items, such as bowls, lunch-boxes, door-knockers, buckets and lamps.
