Deidi von Schaewen – Indian Interiors / Intérieurs de l’Inde Text by Sunil Sethi | Edited by Angelika Taschen Published by Taschen, 1999. - A magnificent large-format photographic book exploring the rich architectural and decorative traditions of Indian interiors. The volume takes the reader on a visual journey through extraordinary spaces across India: opulent Maharaja palaces in Rajasthan, houseboats on the lakes of Kashmir, Buddhist houses in the Himalayan mountains, and traditional mud homes in the Thar desert. Through the remarkable photography of Deidi von Schaewen, the book reveals interiors that have often remained unchanged for centuries. Lavishly decorated rooms featuring frescoes, mirrored walls, carved ceilings, antique furniture, textiles, and traditional craftsmanship are documented in striking detail. The book contains hundreds of vivid colour photographs and offers a rare and intimate look into the aesthetics, architecture, and lifestyle of India.
