This type of foliate and floral scroll marquetry is characteristic of Spanish colonial furniture and beautifully illustrated by a 17th Century shell-incrusted cabinet or mueble enconchado, featuring closely related marquetry, which was offered as a wedding gift to the grand-daughter of one of the Viceroys of Peru, sold at Sotheby's, New York, 21 May 1992, lot 79 (ill. H. Hayward, World Furniture, London, 1965, p.106, fig 371). Related examples featuring comparable geometric marquetry include a cabinet-on-stand from the Property of the Late Hugh Cholmondeley, sold at Christie's, London, 26 March 1987, lot 133; and another, sold at Sotheby's, London, 3 July 2007, lot 12 (£38,400), as well as cabinets illustrated in S.
