专家说明

With its geometric inlay of stars and circles and its vargueno form of a multiple drawer cabinet on stand, so typical of furniture from the Iberian peninsula, this unusual chest on stand marries the decorative Mughal tradition of its ivory inlay with a European furniture form. A Portuguese colony from 1510 until 1961 Goa has a fascinating blend of latin and oriental cultures. A similar cabinet was sold by Christie's Los Angeles, The Duquette Collection, lot 346 (US$37,600)
