Showcasing colonial classic furniture and interesting antiques from all over the country, Kipling and Co. was set up to make Indian heritage furniture available to all. The furniture collection includes both old furniture and reproductions made from old wood. The reproductions are focussed on the export market and viewed mainly from a historical perspective and the view of craftsmanship.

The library-cum-bookshop on the first floor has antiquarian books, reprints of old classics and coffee table books.

A collaborative partnership between Subramanian Gomathi, Patrick Davenport and Martin Graham, Kipling and Co. is a coming together of kindred souls. The trio have carefully handpicked the collection that is showcased, from their travels all over India.

The furniture from the North is mostly crafted woods such as shisham, saal, aam and Indian teak. The South Indian collection leans more towards rosewood and teak from India and Burma and a few rare pieces from wood of the jack tree. The shop also has small gift items ranging from ceramics to glass to wrought iron, both old and new.

A second showroom is being planned in Delhi.
