Indian Art at V&A

Victoria and Albert Museum in London has an excellent online print site from where you can order prints of the art exhibited in the museum. V&A Prints have a selection of more than 3000 images from the Victoria and Albert Museum, one of the most renowned collections of art and design in the world. The images for sale have been chosen to reflect the richness and diversity of culture, lifestyle and art found at the V&A. I loved some of the prints in the Indian Art section, as well as their collection of vintage posters. Definitely worth a look, and quite reasonably priced too.

Finding India in Cape Town..

Antique furniture, chandeliers, jharokas, nandis, silver bed, patina-ed buddhas figurine, kilim carpets, brass thaalis, marble archs, carved pillars, jaisalmer stone floors, incense sticks, sikh paintings, stone idols, mirror work textiles, brass urlis.....you will be forgiven to think that I am sharing with you an Indian palace today. Though, on second thoughts, in a way I am doing just that; just the location of this magnificent home happens to be Cape Town’s historic De Waterkant. This, is Danny and Mitch's home. Their love for collecting and preserving Edwardian and Indian antiquities is evident in each of the photographs below. See more of their museum like home here..
