Here is what they say about The Past Perfect Collection

COLONIAL ANTIQUE FURNITURE

Love colonial-style furniture? Then visit The Past Perfect Collection in the Tan Boon Liat Building where British colonial antiques are the stars of the showroom.
The gorgeous collection has the personal touch of the owners, a Dutch couple who travel to India and handpick original pieces that once stood in the stately colonial mansions there. The store is filled with top-quality antique furniture that has been restored to its former glory with exquisite polishing and fresh upholstery.

Pop along for great ideas on how to incorporate these antiques into modern spaces – and don’t miss their gift-worthy silver collection, framed antique maps and luxury Good Earth tableware.

Antique furniture top picks

Large travel chests are a perennial favourite – in particular, Dutch colonial
chests, which are sturdy as well as elegant. With their ornate brass locks and large brass keys, they offer both practicality and style.
Antique rolltop desks are very popular and date back to the 19th century when they were used by European settlers in India.
This antique store also specialises in colonial dining tables. Whether they are extending, circular or marble-topped versions, they’re all ideal for gatherings with family and friends.
