Covered from head to toe in a mix of gold leaf, silver leaf and hand painted lacquer designs. The faux coral wood pulls are so convincingly organic that you have to touch them to believe it’s not actually shell.

Deep drawers on metal glides are interior lined in black velvet. We’re certain you’ve never seen anything quite like this and neither have we. Vintage 1980s-1990s.

This mysterious little pyramidal gem asks as many questions as its Egyptian ancestors, but here’s what we know for certain. It’s petite, it’s geometric, it’s monumental and it’s a masterpiece. Don’t meditate on this one for too long. It’s what we call FT, LT (first time, last time).
