Hand-fired Portuguese tiles, antique mirrors, an impressive collection of vintage photographs, lithographs, rich carpets and rugs layered with patina of age decorate the walls of the store.
Turn of the century antique furniture, hand painted chandeliers with Dutch and oriental porcelain give the store its lush decadence. The Sabyasachi Art Foundation comes in with the sculptures and art inspired by Qajar paintings from Persian dynasty, Indian miniatures and calendar art.
Here, one can browse through a world detached from reality, where time stands still.
