Diamond-set Enameled Gold Goblets
Circa 1940

Dazzling in their intricacy and jewel-like beauty, these exceptional goblets transform high-carat gold, brilliant enamel and diamonds into a sumptuous expression of Indian-style decorative art. Crafted circa 1940, the pair evokes the splendor of Mughal courtly arts and the enduring magnificence of India’s jeweled traditions.

Every surface is richly ornamented with dense polychrome decoration in saturated red, green and white. Delicate floral motifs envelop the broad bowls and slender stems, while diamond-set accents catch the light with flashes of brilliance. Lustrous gold interiors bordered by vivid green enamel create a striking contrast with the elaborate exterior decoration. Complete with their original presentation cases.

The goblets are decorated in the tradition of meenakari, the centuries-old art of ornamenting metal with brilliantly colored enamel. The technique flourished under Mughal patronage, when artisans combined enamel, gold and precious stones to create luxurious objects for the imperial court and elite. These remarkable 20th-century goblets carry forward that aesthetic tradition, translating the refined floral vocabulary and jewel-like splendor associated with Mughal decorative arts into magnificent objects of display.
