Use the Egmore museum as a material reference
The Chennai District page places Government Museum in Egmore and documents galleries devoted to archaeology, sculpture, bronze, painting, anthropology, natural history, and other fields. Its campus therefore supports detailed study of how differing materials, scales, and historical contexts are displayed. A government collection is not a catalogue for private interiors and cannot demonstrate a citywide preference, price level, or suitability for one Chennai room.
Choose several museum objects only as visual comparisons. Note edge treatment, surface reflection, colour, framing, and the distance at which detail is clear, then compare these observations with photographs and measurements from the intended property. The useful question is whether the proposed work relates coherently to that wall, furniture, circulation, and owner brief. Avoid treating bronze, textiles, colonial architecture, or contemporary work as a default Chennai theme.
