Seeing closely. Collecting wisely.
The Loupe is a private art advisory by Mitaali Nanda Vohra. It brings a jeweler's eye to furniture, paintings, lacquer, carpets and, of course, jewels.

How I advise
Guidance on acquisitions, auctions and private sales across jewelry, furniture, paintings and decorative arts, matched to your taste and your home.
I attend previews and sales, then report back on what deserves your attention and what to leave behind.
Written dispatches from the room, with photographs, so you can see what I saw and understand why it matters.
I am fluent in maximalism, and I draw on everything I see in galleries, salerooms and collections to transform a room: layered wallpapers, accent chairs, mirrors, gilt wood and lacquer, chosen with a collector's restraint. Think of me as your purveyor of good taste. Browse the pieces and design services in the shop.
Latest from the salon
Gilt wood, lacquer and a southern light
The first thing I noticed was how the gilding held the light. Louis XV curves, Louis XVI restraint, and between them a small panel of Japanese lacquer that quietly outshone the room.
