EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Bureau-cabinet from Vizagapatam, dating back to the early 18th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Anglo-Indian School, this exquisite piece is a true testament to their mastery of intricate inlay work. Measuring an impressive 211x110x62 cm, this bureau-cabinet features a double-domed cornice that immediately catches the eye. The arched doors are adorned with delicate engravings and inlays depicting flourishing trees, graceful birds, and charming animal groups. Upon opening the doors, one discovers a meticulously fitted interior. A row of nine arched pigeon holes sits above three short drawers while a central cabinet reveals seven ivory and tortoiseshell-mounted drawers flanked by vertical divisions. Five additional drawers below continue the mesmerizing inlay pattern. The hinged fall front adds another layer of beauty to this remarkable piece. Inlaid with scrolling foliage and animals surrounding a central vase, it opens up to reveal yet another fitted interior. Eight arched pigeon holes and seven ivory and tortoiseshell-mounted drawers surround a central door enclosing six graduated small drawers. Every inch of this bureau-cabinet is adorned with enchanting details - from brass bail handles on each drawer to flowering trees and animals delicately depicted on its sides. Resting gracefully on ogee bracket feet, it stands as both functional furniture and an exquisite work of art. This print captures every nuance of craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary piece; truly deserving its place in any discerning collector's private collection.
