Objects With Stories.
Exceptional antiques and decorative objects sourced from India and the historic Silk Route.
The Silk Route Collection
Objects gathered across centuries, cultures and forgotten places.
We find distinctive antiques, architectural elements, furniture and decorative objects in India — in old estates and workshops, in the back rooms of dealers who have known their trade for three generations, in houses being emptied after a century of use.
What we keep is brought to collectors, interior designers, hospitality projects and private clients who care less about matching a scheme than about living with something that has a history behind it.
Every piece is catalogued with what we know of its region, period, material and past. Where the record is incomplete, we say so.

From India, With History.
Sourcing begins on foot. Rajasthan in the cool months, Gujarat when a house is being cleared, Punjab for weaving, the south for bronze. Most of the work is waiting, looking and returning.
We buy from dealers, families and craftsmen we have known for years. A carved bracket with the pigment still in its grooves. A door too heavy for two men. A dhurrie that was never sold because it was made for a daughter.
Nothing is restored beyond what it needs. Surfaces stay as they were found — worn where hands passed, darkened where light did not reach. That patina is the record, and we leave it intact.
Working with us
For Designers, Collectors & Curious Spaces
We work with interior designers, architects, boutique hotels, restaurants, private collectors, and film and photography projects. Sourcing is shaped around a project's aesthetic, period, dimensions and budget — a single object, or the furnishing of an entire property.
