Even if you can’t say you
wiled away your childhood days surrounded by luxurious furniture at your grandmother’s
house in the hills of India, you can still pretend. New to West Vancouver is Verandah
Antiques, a store dedicated to Indian furniture crafted during the Raj period
of British imperial rule (1858-1947). Handmade using only the finest woods, Raj
furniture was influenced by Victorian and Art Deco design movements. Owner Salman
Ansari has selected flawless character and contemporary pieces—complemented
with silk Kashmiri carpets and antique Afghan and Indian rugs—
to best bring the era to your home.—Susan Hollis |
