Kotharis of Rajgarh Antiques An antiques gallery with a speciality in Indian art.Website: http://kotharisofrajgarh.com/ The information provided is usually well referenced.

We have long felt that there need to be avenues in India from where one can buy authenticated, legal and rationally priced antiquities. Moreover we believe such ventures form an essential part of any conservation effort. Thus we set up this dealership with the intention of focusing on Indian antiquities- however we also also include a fair number of other antiques- European, Oriental and so on, so

as to be able to cater to a variety of tastes. We try to make the descriptions as informative as possible and even take the opinion of subject experts where possible. Moreover, wherever possible, links are provided to similar pieces from museums and private collections. We would like to believe that almost anyone can buy from us. Hence we have made a conscious effort to maintain an offering spread over a broad price range- from inexpensive antiques for first time buyers, to more expensive items for those looking to add to established collections. Needless to add, it will bring a greater sense of satisfaction if the collection presented is appreciated by everyone than if it is just sold It would be great to hear from you if you have more information to provide about any of the items featured here. Your criticism and feedback will be deeply appreciated. Our website: http://kotharisofrajgarh.com/

During the colonial era, cheap mill processed textiles from Manchester ruined the handloom industry in India. These mill processed textiles came in large 'thaans' and these thaans had very interesting labels.

Today these labels are very collectible- not only because of their interesting subject matter but also because these seemingly benign labels represent one of the most tumultuous periods of colonial India, ultimately culminating in the Swaraj movement.

These labels are also collectible for people interested in the history of Calcutta.
