20th Century Modern Moroccan Berber Chest or Trunk

An incredibly rare louvered and illuminated room divider in solid walnut floating over a cylindrical brass foot, custom-designed by Vladimir Kagan circa 1967.

A popular deity, Shouxing is depicted on paintings and in figurines, found in most homes in China.
