[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9436154, member: 2844"]Bombé is used for this rounded shaped furniture. Bombay is the old name of Mumbai, a major Indian city. The pronunciation is different, bombé being French, with a shorter sounding -é, and Bombay being the English transcription of an Indian name, with a longer sounding -ay. Mind you, I have seen US sellers call bombé furniture Bombay, as if it was Indian made. What can I say....:([/QUOTE]
