Spanish Colonial Dining Room Chairs
SPANISH COLONIAL STYLE
After the conquest of Mexico in 1521 and the Philippines in 1565, Spain dictated a global culture. The colonization of territories in the Americas, Western Europe, Africa, Oceania and the Pacific imposed the values of Spain, including Catholicism, while the extraction of resources reinforced the empire’s wealth and power. Unlike many styles that came out of European colonialism, such as British Colonial, Spanish Colonial furniture and architecture frequently mixed local heritage with the artistic traditions of Spain.
Spanish Colonial furniture was informed by the shifting styles of Europe as well as Indigenous culture. There were Inca tapestries depicting Spanish coats of arms and Baroque chairs adorned with tropical flora. The butaca, a low easy chair popular in the Caribbean, was inspired by Rococo’s curving forms and the shape of precolonial seating. In New Mexico, Pueblo artisans carved chests with patterns reminiscent of Anasazi art.
Even within the homes of the wealthy, furniture was usually restricted to necessities like benches, desks, cupboards and chests. These were often ornately designed and especially important for storing prized goods like textiles. Spanish Colonial houses were built with adobe and clay and tended to be minimally decorated, so the style’s heavily carved wooden furniture pieces stood out against a home’s white stucco walls.
The Spanish Colonial period mostly came to an end after the territories achieved independence from Spain. However, its aesthetics continued to influence Southwestern style and Spanish Colonial Revival style after Spanish Colonial style was used extensively at San Diego’s 1915 Panama-California Exposition.

Bobbin Turned Pair of Spanish Chairs Wood and Interwoven Rope
old pair of Spanish chairs. They are very old, perhaps many more years than I imagine, especially the part of the wood, the part of the rope, surely it was changed throughout its life, possibly in a not too distant time since they are perfect. Your condition is excellent.
This type of rope interlacing is very typical in some areas of Spain, such as Castilla la Mancha, as are the enea or esparto seats.
In this case, the interlocking design is very beautiful and unique and linked to the beauty of the wood turning, which in this chaos is especially harmonious and balanced and has a beautiful patina, which has left the passage of time and that together turns into a very unique and unusual pieces, so beautiful and in such good condition
