18th Century Spanish Colonial Church Altar Table now Sideboard Server
Located in Forney, TX
A magnificent rustic Spanish Colonial antique, circa 1725, church altar with remarkable patina and detailing.
Hand-crafted in the first half of the 18th century, most likely commissioned by the Spanish Empire for use in a Colonial religious Mission, now fashioned with later antique elements and repurposed for use as a sideboard.
The scarce Baroque period ecclesiastical architectural church altar presents with a raised gallery shelf back topped with a single board, over a massive, thick pine plank wooden slab top, featuring impressive rich patina, rustic charm and antique character. Mounted over the distinctive architectural trapezoid shaped molded base with rich hand carved and polychrome painted decoration, including the sophisticated original Italian / European inspired trompe-l'œil marbleizing finish, which was a variety of faux painting techniques used only by highly skilled artisans to create the distinctive and varied patterns of marble, in an effort to reproduce the colors, veining and luster of real marble or other building materials. Rising on solid supports enhanced with recessed paneling, smooth rounded corners and edge work and stepped molded trim.
Beautiful, nicely aged patina over the whole, highly desirable heavily worn, naturally distressed, chippy paint craquelure finish that has been stabilized to minimize further loss, that does not detect from the aesthetics or functionality, but only adds to the overall elegant warmth and rich historical depth, that can only be acquired over three centuries. Very strong, sturdy, stable. Delivered cleaned, hand waxed, luminous polished French patina finish, ready for immediate use, and many more years of generational enjoyment.
Dimensions: (approx)
37.25" High, 62" Wide, 27" Deep
The large size, and substantial proportions, make this excellent for a variety of different uses, including as a distinctive buffet table or server, credenza, oversized console, farmhouse kitchen...

West-Indies Herman Moll William Paterson Spanish Trade Routes Gold
By Herman Moll
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
A rare map of the West-Indies or the islands of America in the North Sea with ye adjacent countries explaining what belongs to Spain, England, France, Holland &c also ye Trade Winds and ye several Tracts made by ye Galeons and flota from place to place.
Wil Paterson this map of the West-Indies is most humbly dedicated by Her. Moll geographer.
According to ye newest and most exact observations by Herman Moll Geographer.
Map of the Caribbean islands including southern North America, Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.
Inset at lower left: The City of Mexico in New Spain. Derived from a view in an unpublished atlas by Johannes Vingboons 1628. This image was probably copied from a map by Juan Gomez de Trasmonte, supervisor of the construction of a drainage system for Mexico city in 1628. Kagan, Urban images of the Hispanic world, fig. 4.23
Insets at upper right: La Vera Cruz; A Draught of the Bay and Citty of Havana Cuba; The Bay of Porto Bella; A Draught of ye Citty of Cartagena; A Draught of St. Augustin Saint Augustine, Florida.
Artist : Herman Moll d. 1732.
Bibliography : A new and compleat atlas, London, 1708-1720 Hermand Moll.
Provenance: Private collection.
In a buff mount and gilded frame with green highlight. Maps are generally framed in insigificant frames so that the attention is soley on the map. This map could easily be reframed depending on how and where it will be hung and there are many different choices.
Frame size height 56 cm., 22" length 84 cm., 33".
This is a map that reveals Moll both as an astute political observer and thinker, and tactian. This map of the West Indies is full of commercially sensitive information about the Spanish gold runs, and it is entirely feasible that the map was deliberately suited as a guide to English piracy and privateering in the West Indies. Through his London connections, Moll knew of two prominent English pirates or privateers: Woodes Rogers and William Dampier...
