17th Spanish Walnut Cabinet on Stand, Desk, Original ‘Bargueño’
About the Item
Spanish desk (“bargueño”) in walnut.
17th century with “bridge-shapped”. Decorated on the exterior with metal applications (open-work, textile background) and bow handles with central lentil. It stands on a "foot bridge" base joined by straight shoes with carved front and a straight “chambrana” with arches and elements in relief (of a certain Mannerist style).
Inside, the desk stands out for its decoration based on columns, turned and gilded, arranged in different spaces between two to two, arranged in a symmetrical composition often used in these models (three spaces differentiated horizontally, the lack of a clear axis –“capilla” or chapel- in the center is more usual in more traditional models). The lower register houses a large central drawer and two smaller ones on each side. The five are decorated with a Serlio-inspired plan (reduced arch flanked by two smaller semicircular arches), typical of Spanish furniture since the 16th century (and which would continue in some examples during the 17th century). This architectural scheme is repeated with differences in the rest of the furniture space. This type of desk was the most common one in the Spanish Baroque, maintaining influences and relationships with national examples of the past and differentiating radically from the rest of European works both in appearance and in the chosen materials, this is special because is so rich or colorful in their interior.

- Important Spanish "Bargueño" Cabinet of the 17th CenturyLocated in Madrid, ESOld cabinet called "bargueño" from the end of the 17th century with an architectural structure with side drawers and the central part like a chapel finished in fronton. The front is decorated with various types of antique tortoise and decorated with gilded bronze with various renaissance forms. on the upper part we find 9 gilded eagles crowned with the symbol of royalty. On the door there is a painting representing the virgin mary with the child jesus painted in oil on table. Inside we also find 3 paintings that symbolize the expulsion of adam and eve to the world from the garden of paradise after having eaten the forbidden apple.. On the back part of the door there is a mirror that reflects the interior paintings. The sides are also decorated with tortoise and ebonized wood and bronze ornaments. The assembly makes this cabinet a very difficult piece to find due to its importance and rarity. The cabinet has been fully restored and is in very good condition. Measures: 195 x 158 x 40 cm. Its origin dates back to the 16th century. Very used piece of furniture, since the royal courts were nomadic and the desk solved many problems. The first influence comes from Italy. Beginning in the 16th century, Spanish desks abandoned the Renaissance figurative carving decoration and that of inlaid wood. There is a tendency towards a lack of ornamentation influenced by the architecture of El Escorial. The demand for this type of parts is increasing, to store documents, and simpler types are introduced. During the last quarter of the 16th century, there is a change of taste. Functionality is abandoned to highlight the purely decorative. Exotic materials such as ebony, ivory and tortoiseshell are used. One of the examples of ebony work was the studiolo of the Uffizzi Tribune in Florence. The taste for this type of desk was introduced to Spain by Felipe II...Category
