About the Item

A rare gesture of ornamental restraint and regional craft, this Spanish buffet from the 1940s distills centuries of vernacular design into an unusually narrow architectural volume. Just 14.96 inch in depth, it was likely conceived for a corridor or chapel antechamber—where proportions were dictated by passage, not plenitude. The façade unfolds in three carved doors beneath a row of four drawers, each face adorned with sharply recessed lozenge and diamond motifs, hand-carved in high relief. The rhythm of ornament extends to the flanks, giving the piece a totalizing spatial coherence. Despite its slender body, the visual weight is grounded by the density and depth of its carving. Attributed to a provincial Spanish workshop working in the tradition of Castilian Renaissance Revival, this piece evokes the stoic geometry of late Gothic altarpieces and 17th-century sacristy cabinetry—filtered through the folkloric hands of 20th-century artisans. Executed in solid oak, the buffet bears a deep golden-brown patina, its surfaces softly burnished through use. Iron hardware—wrought and twisted—provides both function and graphic punctuation. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. An architectural fragment in furniture form—narrow, but never slight—it introduces a sculptural cadence to transitional interiors and quiet passages. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
