Provenance of Antique Items

Authentic items of different cultures, different traditions and of colonial history unearthed in Tibet, India, Sri lanka, Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), Afghanistan, Indonesia and Africa. Superb furnishings made of rare wood (ebony, teak, rosewood, satin wood, nadun...) and ethnographica, all of museum quality.  Collecting as the new internationalism: connoisseurs are looking into multiple periods, cultures, and mediums.
