From the archives of…
…John Henry Claude WilsonPhotographer extraordinairecapturesIndian Interiors
Brass thaal (plate) with fragrant flowers on a chowki. In the center is an incense stick holder
A pichwai from Nathdwara school of painting. Chair upholstered in raw silk
Diwan (daybed) and wooden statue of Garuda-(thanks blackmamba!)
Room held together by the colorful dhurrie (rug)
A different genre of Indian home interiors with elegant furniture and rich fabrics
The lamp seems to have lacquer on brass… Block printed cushions with a rich throw 
Silver coated, or quite possibly silver frame mirror
I will bring you more images from Henry’s amazing work through the years capturing India, and Indian interiors, next week. For now, I am off to London and Dusseldorf for a quick work trip..

I love a desi decor. These look lovely, my goodness. I absolutely admire the fabrics and color combination.

Wow, the room looks exotic. This gave me an inspiration to create an Indian theme for my room. 😀

India is always an exotic and instigante inspiration, everything pretty and very well composed with a beautiful work!

I discovered your site a few weeks ago from Sparkletopia, and it has very quickly made me mad for Indian interior style. I literally want to redo every room in my house!

minor fix:
I think the statue in pic 3 is Garuda and not Hanuman.

That first photo is gorgeous…I love the contrasting carpets as well. A felicitous combination of colors…and the delicacy of the flowers in that platter really set it off.
