IMPORTANT TWO-PART CABINET IN MARQUETRY OF BONE, MOTHER-OF-PEARL, AND PRECIOUS WOOD The upper section opens with two doors adorned with polylobed arches featuring Atauric decoration, resting on small columns with Nasrid capitals. These frame openwork latticework panels with interlaced patterns, above panels inlaid with geometric stars. They reveal a theater-style interior, also inlaid. A cornice with modillions crowns the piece; it is topped by an openwork gallery featuring geometric interlacing, punctuated by spinning-top pinnacles. The lower section opens with a belt drawer and features a frieze of cartouches bearing the inscription of the Nasrid motto “wa-lā ghāliba illā Allāh ” (“There is no victor but God”). It rests on an openwork arcade with foliage spandrels, supported by small columns—fasciculated at the corners—joined by a marquetry spacer panel. Spindle-shaped legs. Decor in the style of the Alhambra. Spanish work, probably from Granada, late 19th century. 200 x 140 x 58 cm (Minor chips and restorations) Private collection, Saint-Tropez
