The ruling Imperial family was frequently admired in decorative arts which lead to the creation of Qajar art, referring to the art, architecture, and art forms of the Qajar dynasty, which lasted from 1781 to 1925. These rare and magnificent examples are a bold representation of why Bohemian art glass is so highly sought after.
