About the Item

This exquisite mid-19th-century Brazilian shrine, originating from the opulent coffee plantation era, is a masterpiece of both artistry and functionality. Crafted from fine Brazilian hardwood, this piece embodies the elegance and sophistication of the baronial class of the time.

Its octagonal base offers stability while enhancing its unique aesthetic appeal, making it a standout piece in any setting.
