Despite its fresh and current look, this piece reflects much history as it bears its original sales tag from the shop of Broqua & Scholberg of Montevideo opened in 1856 by Broqua (of Uruguay) and Scholberg of Liege, Belgium.

 

Originally it was a purveyor of guns, knives and equestrian goods, later branching into silver items and a glass factory and retail store.
