I was offered a colonial desk like this for 7k, with teakwood top, not rexine. Thanks for your post informing about the market though. Best of luck for future shopping!

The price is something that can vary a lot depending on what wood is used, how old it is including what condition it is in. Considering that it is probably a remake of the old style of furniture (unless they can prove it to be genuine with a date to it from it's original owner), it should be something in the range of Rs.8,000 to Rs.11,000 but I guess you have still got a good deal being a foreigner. I like the pull out feature of the writing pad on the right hand side of the table and the green rexine top usually used on such tables back then. Best of luck for your next bid for the glass cupboard!!!Aadil Desaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269350305126694091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209917895693447861.post-29687697881867280332013-08-18T14:35:45.166+05:302013-08-18T14:35:45.166+05:30Yes, I love Indian handicrafts and craftsmanship.....Yes, I love Indian handicrafts and craftsmanship...shoppers paradise here!BombayJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832768677477639407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209917895693447861.post-45050461060045188792013-08-18T14:35:10.287+05:302013-08-18T14:35:10.287+05:30Thanks J!Thanks J!BombayJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832768677477639407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209917895693447861.post-35162767395505001892013-08-18T14:33:37.334+05:302013-08-18T14:33:37.334+05:30I am still a bit mystified to whether I got a good...I am still a bit mystified to whether I got a good price or not - by comparison to a local Indian shopper.

I still have not decided on the shop from where I will be buying a glass door cupboard for my ever growing book collection. Will have to get there someday soon to finalise the deal before my wife throws out my books!!! There is a lovely antique shop too at the end of the line of wooden furniture shops where the owner is a Rajasthani miniature paintings artist.Aadil Desaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269350305126694091noreply@blogger.com
