"Ornaments for your Interiors and Exteriors"

In one of the cozy corners of Bandra West, Mumbai's (Bombay's) most famous shopping area suburbs, very near the footsteps of Mount Mary Church; lies a new artistic destination. A place for Restored Period furniture, reproduction antiques,artifacts,curios & other items for art-lovers. This is Just Art Etc.

One Question one may ask in these times of global recession and war is why another outlet for art? Are there not already enough in Mumbai? "Art promotes peace and harmony - just the right need of our times"is the belief of Mr. Manohar Khatri, a young 46 year old entrepreneur, the visionary behind Just Art..etc. A self-made man,Just Art ..etc. has been his passionate dream now come true in Mumbai.

The ongoing business slowdown was just the right opportunity for this man to pursue his vision of Just Art..etc. Creating fine exclusive traditional artifacts and making them easily affordable for not just the classes, but also the masses. "There are many places in Mumbai where you can get expensive artifacts. But we believe that Just Art..etc. is probably the only shop in Mumbai where you can get otherwise out-of-the-reach artifacts at very honest prices."

"In fact, most are shocked by our prices. They refuse to accept that such good quality items are available at such reasonable prices. But we believe in a long term business policy of giving our valued customers easy access to these items."

Also, most global experts are of the opinion that investments in antique period furniture always keep pace with inflation. As per the Antique Collector's Club Antique Furniture Retail Price Index prepared by UK's large auction houses, for the past thirty years, antique furniture is as good or better an investment as desirable residential property in England. Similar figures for India are not available. One can however assume that with increasing globalisation and increased success of period films like `Lagaan' not only in India but also in developed countries, people's interest in artistic and antique items is going up. A wide diaspora of NRI's all over the world will continue to keep the interest in these items very high.

Just Art ..etc. not only has a few genuine antique pieces but also some very fine antique reproduction collectibles. The shop itself has the old-world authenticity and ambience in a sprawling spacious 1800 feet area with ample space for parking.

As the clock strikes the hour, one can hear pleasant ringing chimes.These are from the grandfather clock, which without fail every hour reminds one of passing away time - our most treasured resource."Grandfather Clocks today are a favourite with most young couples today". The grandfather clock graciously and gracefully adorns a treasured wall. Surrounding it are beautiful modern yet old authentic clocks in different lovely colours, framed by a mix of wood and metal, one of them faithfully showing time of six different nations.   A look at the ceiling surprises one with an array of old antique fans with rich yellowish brown wood blades and fearful black body. An old treasure chest sits peacefully under a coconut tree, draped by peaceful white scarves. An ancient dowry chest waits for it's bride, reminding one of old traditional times.  

How relevant are these old items in today's modern Internet world? "One of the finer aspects of old furniture is that it's comfortable familarity easily complements modern technology", says Mr. Manohar Khatri. " Many of our valued customers are high pressure Chief Executives who find these old classic collectibles and artifacts creating a very relaxing and comfortable medium in their offices."

Just Art...etc is not just Exclusive and Elegant, not just Tastefully Traditional, not just Cultured but also affordable with honest prices and personalised services and support.
