I present to you an absolutely extraordinary piece, worthy of any collection that values the art and history it embodies. This rare Namban chest, a splendid example of the Nipo-Portuguese style, dates back to the Momoyama period (1573-1615), a time when the fusion of cultures 
gave rise to works of art of unparalleled beauty.
Made of wood, the chest is entirely covered in black lacquer, adorned with stunning gold decorations 
and mother-of-pearl inlays, depicting two majestic phoenixes 
amidst lush vegetation 
. The design also features bands with geometric motifs 
of diamonds and triangles, creating a harmonious composition that highlights the richness of the details.
The copper fittings, carefully cut, engraved, and gilded, are true masterpieces of craftsmanship 
, adding unmatched sophistication to this piece.A true treasure 
for those who appreciate the rare and the sublime!
