    Product Description & Specifications

    Title

    This solid teakwood 19th century Indian almirah cabinet 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. Diu became a Portuguese colony in 1535 and it is likely this cabinet originated in this area. 


    This piece has a patchwork of various colour paint reflecting a long and colourful life. The predominant remaining colours are green, brown and cream. It has upper and lower compartments accessible by two outwards opening doors with stylish ceramic knobs. Two drawers in the middle offer additional storage and can be removed to reveal secret compartments which would have been used to hide valuables away.
