In the 19th century, there was a major revival
of fine metalworking, jewelry making, and textile arts in the
Central Asian kingdoms. The massive
emigration from Bukhara, Khiva, and Kokand into Afghanistan after the Bolshevik
Revolution also brought many of these precious objects of Central Asian
art to Afghanistan. Qajar work from Iran was collected by wealthy
Afghans – who also coveted Chinese and European knick-knacks and porcelain. This page features both highly sophisticated urban arts and
rare examples of ethnographic material, including some fine examples of
Bukharan metalwork.
