Editorial Reviews:

This sumptuous treasury-covering furniture and other luxury objets d'art from India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), and Nepal-focuses on highlights from the outstanding collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. With a lively text that will be indispensable to collectors, dealers, and scholars, and of considerable appeal to anyone with an interest in Indian culture, Luxury Goods from India contains specially commissioned color photographs of exquisite pieces, many of which are embellished with ivory or mother of pearl or inlaid with precious stones.

Arranged chronologically from the 12th to the 19th centuries, these beautifully crafted objects-from tables and cabinets to thrones-tell the fascinating story of the fusion between indigenous furniture production and Western aesthetics, and the cultural and historical climate that brought these dazzling objects into existence.
