Description
Discover the story behind one of India's greatest figures, Ranjit Singh, who established a hugely influential Sikh Empire in the early 19th century. This book brings together over 100 key objects from the Sikh Empire, drawn from major private and public collections, to showcase how Ranjit Singh brought about a golden age in Punjab. Through stunning artworks, glittering jewellery, and weaponry, explore how Ranjit Singh's meteoric rise to power led to the development of a formidable army and a thriving trade industry. The book also highlights objects connected to his son, Maharaja Duleep Singh, and the European and American officials who worked with him. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, this catalogue offers a unique glimpse into the achievements of Ranjit Singh's court. Richly illustrated and featuring historic artworks from the Sikh Empire, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian history, art, or collectibles.
