any suggestions what place particularly? Thanks

there are also Markets in south bombay.
its far from powai though  but you get lots of options , new as well as second hand furniture

Regards

Dear Thea,
The market is at Jogeshwari,Mutton street(chor bazar) and few places such as Ghatkopar where the colonial and antique replicas are manufactured.But the best is to look for Zorastrians(parsees),east Indians who are shifting or otherwise and would like to sell their furniture.Also °µÍø½ûÇøs tend to buy such wooden furniture and sell it when they go back.if you still cannot get the originals or better ones pm me.
Best wishes,
Art

WOODEN FURNITURE :

You will have to see the types
nowdays nagpur teak is commonly used .burma teak , ghana teak , etc
also Indian weather,I would not recommend wood ,different in cooler climates
termites problem .

Thank you very much!

You are Welcome

So  Thea

Did you buy any antiques ,Replicas ?

i ended up in Jogeshwari yesterday but as i had a little blond kid with me it ended up quite bad. so hopefully i can go some other time without a kid!

Dear friend,
Just log on to OLX.com and have a look, if u have time u will get wn idea of the proces and also u would be able to see the furniture and their condition and also have an idea about how much you should pay or the real value. Also try places near oshiwara, opposite raigad military school,there are few shops there and have new and old stuff,they also make customize furniture u can bargain with them.
P.S: just make sure u dont b like an °µÍø½ûÇø or foreigner be like a local n im sure u will get the best deal.
