"Ebony and Ivory: Furniture from British India and Ceylon"
2001-02-02 until 2001-04-29
Peabody Essex Museum
Salem, MA, USA United States of America

Showcasing the museum's rare holdings of Indian export furniture, Ebony and Ivory spans more than 250 years of furniture making in India. Intricate and exceptionally beautiful creations carved from exotic materials such as ivory, lacquer, tortoiseshell, and Asian hardwoods, the furniture reflects the intersection of cultures in colonial Indian life.

The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the publication of Furniture from British India and Ceylon: A Catalogue of the Collections in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Peabody Essex Museum. These two institutions hold the most important collections of Anglo-Indian furniture in the world, and this beautifully illustrated catalog represents the first comprehensive look at the subject.
