Accounts of its exact origins differ. The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection preserves a huqqa base from India, dated to the late 17th century, providing a specific example of its historical presence.

An object with social and artistic significance

The historic object combines practical construction with decoration. Metal bases, floral motifs and different techniques show that hookah development also involves art, beyond its use.

From historic bases to modern equipment

Today's equipment varies in materials, connections and design. Aroma Hookah product pages present each model's specifications so comparisons can be based on specific information.

If you are interested in contemporary design development, explore the hookah range. For historical information, consult museum catalogues that document the objects' origins and dates.

The hookah is of interest as an object of history and decorative art. A huqqa base with irises in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection shows how metalworking and floral motifs appeared in equipment of the period.
