Our commitment to you

I

The Home Test

If it does not have a place in our heart, then it does not have a place in our gallery. The selection criteria go beyond quality - it harks back to authenticity, history, experience, uniqueness, heritage, culture, and aesthetics.

II

WYSIWYG

In a culture that engenders acronyms, this is the one we identify with. What You See Is What You Get. This is our commitment to you. Your purchase journey is meticulous and imbibes the same value system that goes into curating each of the offerings. We will share a library of images and videos for you to enable you to make a decision.

Meticulous Muse

The founders are experts in the art of restoration and refurbishment of these authentic vintage articles. Each piece is selected because it inspired our designer who then embarks on the painstaking journey of restoration adding our flair to each piece. This is what sets the works of art in our collection apart - our unique vision.

IV

Authentic

We are committed to restoring our artefacts honouring the era they were made in, the materials used to make them, the function of every component; and only mending what's broken or repairing what’s torn. When pieces arrive with many missing components then we take great pleasure in combining pieces from our collection creating something completely new. There is no replication, we work toward restoring them to their former glory.

V

Sustainable Practices

At Circa, we believe that we have a responsibility to make sustainable choices whenever we can. Our core concept is based on sustainability, we restore artefacts from the past to given them new life and meaning for the present. Additionally, we often repurpose raw materials in our restoration process like wood, marble, glass, and stone.

Towards an Equitable World

Everyone associated with Circa finds value in working together. This is not just limited to the pursuit of art but that of financial emancipation too. All our experts, artisans and workers are fairly compensated for their love and passion in infusing life back into each piece.

Where it all began...
CIRCA 1959

  • Our story with Circa, like all wonderful stories, began with a family legacy. In Nairobi, in 1959 our grandfather Hans Raj Suri was traveling on work when he discovered that people in the Occident greatly appreciated Indian art and handicrafts. Elated that his culture was being adored, he set foot on a new voyage. Upon his return, he made it his life’s mission to share the diversity and richness of Indian art and culture with connoisseurs around the world.


  • Today, this legacy is carried forward by his grandchildren - Savita, Namrata and Mayank - who share his love for Indian handicrafts, art, and design. Circa has beautifully married their passion for heritage and preservation. All the artifacts are treated with great care and respect. Our aim is to enhance beautiful and loving homes with our one of a kind handpicked & painstakingly restored artefacts.
