16th Century Spanish Walnut and Boxwood Table Cabinet, Circa 1580

About the Item

An exceptional 16th Century Spanish walnut and boxwood table cabinet from Catalonia, also known as an arquilla. The fall is richly inlaid with bone, creating a decorative scene of two pedestal urns sprawling with flowers. Crafted with precision and passion, this table cabinet showcases a seamless fusion of rich walnut wood and delicate boxwood inlays, presenting a visually stunning contrast that evokes sophistication and refinement. Each intricate detail and geometric motif is a testament to the artistic ingenuity that flourished during the Renaissance period. The lasting influence of Muslim artists during the 16th century in Iberia can be seen through the Islamic motifs on the top and sides of the cabinet. The interior contains five drawers, all with conforming bone inlay and retaining the original key.

  • 16th Century Renaissance Two-Bodied Cabinet
    Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
    Former collection Altounian At the beginning of the reign of Henri II (1547-1559) the furniture’s ornamentation evolves. The few medieval motifs that were still used are eventually relinquished. Furniture becomes more sober showcasing moulded panels and perfect architecture. Cabinet-makers use ornaments such as curved fluted or plain columns, feather quills, roses or winged putti heads. High-relief carving becomes more scarce and compositions lighter. To that end cabinet-makers draw inspiration from Fontainebleau motifs filtering them and adapting them to French taste.
