Superb Andalusian cabinet from the end of the XIXth century, made of exotic wood with refined marquetry and inlays of mother-of-pearl, ivory and tortoiseshell. Its geometric decoration, inspired by Moorish art, highlights finely assembled star and diamond patterns.
Heir to the know-how of the artisans of Granada and Toledo, this cabinet is part of the Andalusian tradition of boxes and ceremonial furniture. It bears witness to the taste of European collectors of the XIXth century for objects of oriental inspiration, often intended for export to a market of enlightened amateurs.
Rare collector's item, ideal for lovers of decorative arts and Andalusian history.
