About the Item

This late 18th-century Peruvian bargueño is an outstanding example of Spanish Colonial craftsmanship, featuring vibrant hand-painted decoration and intricate hardware. The front panel is adorned with a pastoral scene, depicting a man and woman in an idyllic garden setting, with lush greenery and birds framed by architectural columns, evoking the essence of colonial life. The scene, rendered in a folk-art style, highlights the blend of European influence with native craftsmanship typical of the period. On the sides, angelic figures and floral patterns in vivid red and earthy tones emphasize the piece’s religious and cultural significance. Each drawer on this bargueño is meticulously hand-painted with scrolling foliate motifs, bordered by rich gold accents, and the original wooden knobs remain intact. The chest is secured with a beautifully detailed iron lock and latch, adding to its historical integrity. Inside, the bargueño reveals multiple drawers and compartments, perfect for storing personal valuables. This piece stands on rounded feet and reflects both function and art, serving as a jewelry or storage chest, while its painted surface and rich patina make it an eye-catching element in any collection. This bargueño offers a unique opportunity to own a functional, historically significant work of art, encapsulating the rich blend of Spanish and indigenous Peruvian artistry during the colonial period.
