Indo-Portuguese Cabinet Tiger No.1

Firmino Canhoto drew his inspiration for this wood cabinet from an 18th-century Indo-Portuguese cabinet. The cabinet, made from teak and rosewood is decorated on all sides with wooden inlays of figures from Hindu mythology, vegetal and geometric motifs. The feet are carved in the shape of Naginis. Golden brass is used for handles, escutcheon, flower-shaped tacks, and the corners. There is a secret safe in the interior and its drawers are lined in black velvet.
