About the Item

Bargueño of salmanca model, also called of columns, with flap front cover, decorated in its exterior with forged iron plates cut and shed, applied on a background of cloth (frequent in this typology). The lock shield is complex, with traditional balusters and balusters from the time on the sides. The exterior decoration is complete, on the sides, with bow handles with central lentil and long hinges of time, also very own of this model. It stands on a closed "taquillón" foot, with two two drawers and two front doors carved in rhomboid format, with geometric decorations and central lock shields also with wrought iron plates applied on cloth. This lower body is raised on four legs of flattened ball, and also presents lateral arcuate handles. At the top has two clamps, with venera head, which extend to serve as a base to the lid once opened. This type of salmantino desk is typically Spanish, and is characterized by the great wealth in the interior sample, with a decoration based on stone columns, turned and gold. Also, the drawers follow different models, which are often mixed: from a very simple design, only with moldings (which does not appear here, given the wealth of the furniture), to an architectural design of great complexity. In the case of this cabinet we see three registers with different drawers and doors, following a total of seven drawers with hidden lower drawer, two doors with independent lock, four simple drawers and two double drawers, decorated all elements with columns in a salomonic format Of carved bone and plates of the same material chiseled to pen. They follow a strongly Baroque architectural scheme, with corbels, cornices and fronton in addition to the columns, with venera handles and arches inspired by Flemish designs. Although columns desks exist since the time of Philip III (1578-1621) and are especially frequent between 1610-1660, the characteristics of this model indicate a possible date of execution closer to 1650 in which there is a full evolution Of the model. Thus, the fact that the columns are torsos, as well as the profusion of decorative elements and of gold, and finally the great compartmentalisation (linked squares) of the fronts of the drawers, indicate to us an advanced moment within century XVII. In this desk, an unusual circumstance in these pieces, and the extraordinary state of preservation, where both structure and interior elements are original, are included, including forging elements like handles, handles, nails, keypads, locks and corners. It conserves ironworks with polychrome remains and original fabric. Minimal replacements are seen in what refers to some piece of bone in the interior and some piece of cloth, which in most cases has been completely replaced by the XVIII-XIX centuries, but which in this case is preserved. Both the structural complexity, the decorative richness and the state of preservation make this desk an important example of the most representative Spanish furniture in the 17th century."
