The author, a specialist in furniture history, has conducted exhaustive research on the rich furniture production in 17th and 18th-century Peru, in churches, convents, monasteries, and private collections. Through her reading, one can appreciate in Peruvian viceregal furniture a valuable witness of its time, an example of the syncretism of diverse and distant cultures, endowed with symbolism, iconographic meaning, and enormous beauty.
