Likely designed or commissioned by an Italian atelier familiar with North African and Andalusian motifs, the cabinet features carved walnut panels, arched blue glass doors, and pierced geometric detailing typical of the period.

Attributed in style and execution to Giuseppe Parvis, a noted Italian designer active in Egypt and Italy, this piece embodies the cross-cultural dialogue between Europe and the Islamic world that defined design. Its bold architectural presence, rare materials, and sculptural form make it a museum-worthy statement in both historical and contemporary interiors. See less
