Arabic Ottoman Metal Hookah Base with Engraved Detailing

This is an Arabic Ottoman hookah base, meticulously crafted from metal with intricate engraved detailing. The primary colour is silver with grey undertones. The hookah features a bulbous base, a slender neck, and a distinctive smoking spout extending from the side. The top includes a decorative element, reminiscent of a crown. The metal exhibits signs of age, with a slightly tarnished patina that adds to its antique charm. Some areas around the joints and base show minor wear, which is consistent with its age and use. This item serves as both a functional smoking device and a striking decorative piece, perfect for collectors of vintage cultural artefacts.
