17th Century Spanish Baroque Carved Oak and Iron Chest With Original Key

About the Item

17th century Spanish or Spanish Colonial oak chest with wrought iron hinges and mounts, original key and working lock. The front panel with chip carved surface, scalloped gardrooning surrounding circular sunbursts. The beautiful wrought iron hinges with openwork Gothic tracery which could make this chest even older. Or a transition piece. I love finding a piece in such 'virgin' condition, the dry surface, no wax or shellac to mar the original surface. It is also rare to see the original lock and key. Likely Spanish, but very possibly Mexican from the Spanish Colonial period. Here is a piece of history, surviving intact for 400 years. 29.5 inches wide 16.5 deep 13.5 high

16th Century Spanish or Italian Baroque Wrought Iron Nails and Furniture Mounts
Located in Stamford, CT
Group of 16th century (or earlier, possibly Gothic) Spanish or Italian wrought iron furniture mounts. These hand-wrought bosses and nails show incredible workmanship. These would have been used to decorate - and to structurally hold together an early chest or casket. The four geometric bosses beautifully made, eight ounces each without the nail! The nails are works of art in themselves, with their heavy geometric heads. Also two round bosses with the nail integral to the piece, one a mushroom form, the other like a parasol. And a single hand-wrought double sided nail. Great group of early iron. Provenance: Frances Pratt, Writer, Artist, Collector. New York City.
