Chest of drawers. Carved wood. 16th century.

About the Item

Chest of drawers. Carved wood. 16th century. Restorations. Chest of drawers with a carved wooden front in its own color, featuring two drawers with metal handles and lock escutcheons above two doors with handles and locks similar to the previous ones, and a carved top. The figurative elements (busts of men and female figures) appear within plain tondos, with simple geometric elements overlooking the rectangular areas in which they are located. The sides have simpler carvings based on plain moldings, and the lower part features wave-like work. These types of figurative busts are very common in the European Renaissance (compare, for example, the Plateresque carvings by Calderón, created in 1524 in the choir of Sigüenza Cathedral, with 16th-century Portuguese desks, the sides of the Azay-le-Rideau chest or trunk in the Louvre Museum in Paris, etc.), with the elements surrounding these busts typically varying within tondos. The shape of the piece of furniture is also striking, being unusual in the Spanish school of the period. · Size: 150x60,5x161 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
