Sonia Rehman Qureshi’s collection of hand-crafted and hand-painted antique furniture is displayed at the Frere Hall since Thursday.
Sonia is aware of the significance of the theme she has picked. According to her, the collection “tells its own story about where it has been and who it has shared time with.
Her collection includes chests, dining tables and chairs with display cabinets and multiple interpretations on seating arrangements. Each piece has been painstakingly worked on, each angle given equal importance so that there is no compromise on the quality of the piece.
The majestic Frère Hall venue was a perfect complement to highlight the rich heritage that the exhibition focuses on.
This collection of 19th and 20th century furniture not only embodies unique subcontinental artistry, but also infuses within it European artistic influences to make it more contemporary.
