18th Century Mexican Chest from New Spain
About the Item
Mexican chest. New Spain, 18th century.
In polychrome wood.
Slight paint losses on the lid.
Measurements: 7 x 16 x 6.5 cm.
Wooden chest from the viceregal period, hand-polychromed on each of its sides with large flowers and juicy fruit. From the 17th century onwards, as a result of the continuous relations with the American colonies, the manufacture of chests and chests covered in leather or polychromed, with an exuberant decoration of plant and animal motifs characteristic of Peru and Mexico, also developed there; this furniture was destined to satisfy the demand of the high dignitaries of the Viceroyalty of Peru and Mexico, mostly Spaniards who came to occupy political and administrative posts in the colonies.
