18th Century Spanish Colonial Bench A rare and highly evocative mid 18th-century Spanish Colonial bench, crafted entirely in solid hardwood, likely native to the Americas, displaying the unmistakable synthesis of Iberian baroque influences and vernacular craftsmanship typical of colonial furniture. This bench stands out for its sculptural silhouette, featuring a high backrest and apron, both adorned with a rhythmic sequence of arched scalloped patterns, known in period terminology as perfiles lobulados. This decorative motif, rooted in both Moorish and Spanish medieval designs, was commonly adapted by colonial artisans throughout the Viceroyalties. The bench retains its original joinery and pegged construction, a testament to its authenticity and structural integrity. The slightly canted backrest, crowned by finial posts, offers both aesthetic charm and ergonomic comfort, making it suitable for both domestic and ecclesiastical settings. The aged patina, with rich oxidation and wear consistent with centuries of use, enhances its historical character without compromising stability. The robust seat, also original, rests securely above the elegantly shaped skirt, whose pronounced lobes lend movement and visual rhythm to the piece. This is not merely a utilitarian bench but an embodiment of the colonial spirit — practical yet imbued with artistry. Ideal for collectors, decorators, or institutions seeking an authentic representation of 18th-century Spanish Colonial design. Its simplicity, combined with the boldness of its cutouts, makes it versatile enough to grace a rustic hacienda...
