Hi, a friend at work is looking for furniture, specifically comfey
chairs,
that have an Indian motif.
I'm sort of thinking New Dehli Retro, if such a thing exists.
Anyway, he's having a heck of a time locating furniture stores that
cater
to this market, and a few fruitless hours of Googling have left me
stumped
as well.
If anyone onlist could toss me a bone or two, I would be much
appreciative.
I doubt it would be economical for mail order, but in downtown
New Delhi there's a huge store that is a project run by federal
Indian gov't to encourage cottage industry by marketing the
products.

For the traveller, they are somewhat more expensive than the
markets, but generally higher quality and considerably safer
to deal with.
Most of the Indian States run similar operations. nearly all
with outlets in Delhi as well. Google New Delhi handicrafts
to turn those up.
Whee, followed an offlink from that page to a site that got my security up
in arms....
I'm looking for web based stores.
Thanks again
William Robb
