Play real life dollhouse at Eskay

Playing houses is something most of us as children cherished, from making pillow forts to tea parties with the house pet and questionable water. Yet, even as the childhood innocence is long lost, playing house does not get boring, especially if you have a knack or flair for home décor. Even more fun is to have the option of realising whatever your vision for the home is, as décor items become more available.

Here is where Eskay store comes into play, with its plethora of goodies. A home is not just where we reside, but also where we host our near and dear ones, on regular days and special events!

Eskay by Saimul Karim is a full-service event and decor management company that caters to your living and party needs. As soon as you step foot into Eskay's showroom, you will find yourself familiarising with the various royal themes on display. It is evident from the entrance that the shop maintains a well sought out circulation area and features different themes of luxury furniture meant for completely different rooms or even houses, there's a sense of harmony to it that pleases the eye.

The shop features an array of vintage furniture including Victorian and Jaipuri. Couches and sofas vary in sizes. You will find queen chairs, high chairs, Jaipuri sofas and tufted couches. For the dining section, there are samples of mirrored dinner wagons and more in the category of tables.
