The Antique Hut is the brainchild of Sameer Sahu, an engineer by profession and an avid collector of fine arts and antiques. This passion was instilled in him by his parents who had been collectors of antiques themselves for over 35 years.

e art and antique collection.

The In-house Artist – Mrs. Seema Sahu
Mrs. Seema Sahu, Sameer’s mother, was born in 1958 in a small town of Northern India. She had always been fascinated with the colours of Nature right from her early childhood years. As a little girl, she would perch herself in front of a flower pot with a paint brush in her hand and let her creativity flow through her nimbly artistic hands. This fascination soon turned into a passionate hobby and she created many exquisite masterpieces of art. She moved to Nagpur post marriage, but her ardent love and zestful drive for painting didn’t stop and she continued creating fabulous works of art. Throughout the years, Seema has painted stunning masterpieces. Oil on canvas and watercolour on ceramic have been her forte. Seema’s works include subjects like Nature, Still Life, Replicas of famous painters, Figures (both human and animals), Abstracts and Modern Art. She has successfully exhibited her beautiful collection at the Cymroza Art Gallery in the year 1995 and at the Nehru Centre Art Gallery in the year 2000, both of which are very reputed galleries in the city of Mumbai. Seema also has a keen interest in gardening and landscaping and she has executed many landscaping projects along the Feng Shui and Vaastu guidelines. Her greatest and most mentionable achievement in this field was the beautification of the Film City (Bollywood) Studio Complex in Goregaon, Mumbai, for which she won many accolades and praise-worthy recognition from many well-known personalities of the Film Industry. Her other landscaping MNC clients include The Raymond Group, Ispat Industries and DCL Polyester.
