Today it’s time to focus on Boca do Lobo‘s effort to pay tribute to great times throughout history, so we’ll show you some of the best cabinets and buffets that tell stories.
D. Manuel Cabinet
We start this list with the best Portuguese story in history: the Golden Age of Discoveries. A story best told with their best writer, Luís Vaz de Camões, through the epic story: “Os Lusíadas”. This is a period where Portugal started a journey to find a sea route to India for trading purposes, lead by their Kind Manuel I and his brother D. Henrique.
During his reign, the king saw his fleet discover the sea route to India, Brasil, and reach distant lands such as Greenland and Newfound Land, and solidified trading routes and agreements between Persia, China, Morocco and the African sea shore.
