Across and down the road from Tivoli, behind the gate neighbouring Oodles Hotel, you will be greeted by the crew at Sharma Farms. A smidge spooky and cut-off, this place requires a dose of patience when you visit, given the amount of scouring you’ll have to do. Inundated with furniture (each and every kind) and ranging across types, you can expect vintage, restored, Indian-inspired, cut-out work, temple-inspired pillars, statues, sculptures, wine holders, doors, panels and figurines here. They’re cheaper than most of their competitors, but this place requires you to bring your bargaining A-game.
