Indian & Islamic Decorative Art Auction

Pair of oriental-style shelves in exotic carved wood, executed with extraordinary Moorish and Indo-Portuguese-inspired hand craft. Architectural structure with arched, lattice niches, richly decorated with floral and geometric motifs and turned elements in relief.

The wood presents a reddish-brown hue, with a waxed/polished finish that highlights the natural grain and the depth of the carvings. The side columns and friezes are richly ornamented with repetitive vegetal-themed decoration and highly detailed symmetrical patterns.

Pieces with a strong decorative impact, evoking Indo-Portuguese colonial furniture from the 20th century, ideal for displaying sacred art, porcelains, bronzes, or collectible objects. They show patina and marks compatible with age and use.
