Historical Mughal Jewellery and Objets d’Art from a Private Collection

Historical Mughal Jewellery and Objets d’Art from a Private Collection Schmuck Museum, Pforzheim 22 November 2024 through early February 2025 Architecture, literature and painting, as well as jewellery, experienced a heyday during the Indian Mughal Empire.

Although made of precious gold and embellished with gemstones, it does not look overly ornate but testifies to a well-developed sense of aesthetics and refinement, and is clearly distinct from 19th-century Maharaja jewellery. The exhibition will be featuring superlative examples of the goldsmith’s
