Description

This solid teak 19th century Indian almirah cabinet with two glass windows is an excellent example of the Indo-Portuguese blend of styles. Incredibly stylish and timeless, the sunburst panels are typical of the Portuguese style and have been expertly carved. The core Portuguese occupation did not expand beyond Southern India, however, this cabinet comes from Gujarat further north showing how trade and styles transcended regional borders.

As well as the main compartment it also comes with two handy drawers. There are traces of yellow paint inside the main compartment which highlights a colourful past.
