Additional Information

Note:
A very similar example is in the Victoria and Albert Museum collection (inv. FE.97 to F-1974), dated circa 1620-1680. The term ‘Bantam work’ refers to a polychrome lacquer decoration
technique, associated with the port of Bantam in Indonesia, through which many Asian goods destined for Europe passed. This cabinet exemplifies Chinese export production, combining Asian
decorative techniques with European influences.
