17th-Century Spanish Walnut Vargueno, Chest/Desk on stand

About the Item

This 17th-century Spanish walnut Vargueno on stand is a masterwork of Baroque craftsmanship. Featuring original iron handles and a shield-shaped lock plate, its hinged fall front reveals an intricately fitted interior with eleven drawers, each adorned with walnut vener, boxwood, and ebony stringing. The central drawer, with an inlaid eagle and coat of arms, exemplifies the detailed artistry. Supported by turned columns and a Romanesque arched stretcher, this cabinet merges elegance with practicality, serving as a secure and stylish portable writing desk and storage unit during its time.
