This cabinet belongs to a group of ivory inlaid furniture with similar external decoration and variations on the internal, figurative layout. A very similar example to ours, loaned to the 1982 V&A exhibition ‘The Indian Heritage’, has descended in the family of a Bristol merchant who traded with the Indies in the early 18th century (ed Skelton, R. 1982, cat. 556). Another example with similar decoration but of a different shape is in the Musée des arts décoratifs de l’ocean Indien (Galloway, 1998, no. 16) while a fourth cabinet with the identical arabesque of stems, leaves and palmettes is in a private collection in Japan.
