The inscription on the front of this cabinet is the motto of the Nasrid dynasty of Granada, the last Muslim monarchs in Iberia, whose reign came to an end in 1492 AD. A smaller cabinet of a similar design, including the architectural niches on each side of the central drawers, was sold in these Rooms on 11 April 2014, lot 459.
