People are becoming more house proud than ever before and want some furniture that will stand out and get attention. These days, markets are full of designer interior stores and theme interior stores, where you have access to almost all the good brands that you can think of in terms of home décor. But if you still want to go for something different, then you can try the good old street bazaar. Here, if you have an eye for good things, then you can lay your hands on some really good bargains, at decent prices.
The vintage look is an evergreen favourite of the majority of the people, who are opting for a new look. The best place to get vintage furniture in Delhi is Amar Colony, behind the Lajpat Nagar Market. Basically, it is 'the' market to go to for second hand furniture and you can get the best antique furniture there. Though the market does not have any big showrooms and big brands to boast about but still the pieces available are very good and in some cases unique.
Being a market, that deals in second hand furniture doesn't mean that you will get old and wrecked furniture. In fact, you get some good stuff and if you get hooked to some rosewood or sisham furniture, then be ready to pay a good amount for the same.
A bed with wood carving can cost you anything between Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000 and if you think that it is too costly, then you can go in for a cheaper version made with teak wood. The replica can cost you anything between Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,000. The other artifact that will definitely remind you of a time when the British ruled India and the influence they left behind is a centre table with inlay work, which will cost you between Rs 1,200 and 4,000. For an original piece, you might have to shell out around Rs 10,000- Rs 15,000.
