About this book
"Made for Maharajas: Designs for Princely India" explores the fascination among Indian royals for western luxury goods. This taste reached its peak at the height of the British Raj (1857-1947), when Indian rulers disarmed and politically marginalized occupied themselves increasingly with vast building projects and conspicuous consumption.
