This is a stunning piece salvaged from a widow's collection of treasures from her solo global travels in the early 1950s. It looks to be hand-painted and is entirely charming. Although there's some of the usual wear with age, the colors are simply striking. Beautiful maidens adorn this hookah with Arabic calligraphy rimming the top of the metal base.
It comes in two pieces. ...The metal base measures approximately 7.5". The top adds another 9' and is made of wood.
