Antique Furniture: Kochi, India

This is especially true of Kochi (nee Cochin) in Kerala, India, which has been governed over the years by the Portuguese, Dutch and British, all of whose architectural vestiges can be found throughout the city. For gorgeous colonial furniture, Nathaniel Waring, president of tour operator Cox & Kings USA, guides his clients toward Jew Town Street, which hawks a huge array of tropical wood furnishings from the mansions of erstwhile traders.
