Tuesday Terms: Portuguese Bed

I have been reminded of my great admiration for Portuguese furniture by a project that I am working on and thought you might agree. The style is similar to Spanish but less influenced my the Moors and more influenced by the East (China, India and East Indies). My favorite pieces are probably the 4 poster beds (like this one in a guest suite at the Santa Barbara Canary Hotel):

And I also love this Portuguese-inspired Sunburst Armoire being carried by Wisteria.com:
