About the Item

Cabinet made in oak and walnut, decorated with a profuse work of carving and molding. Of architectural structure inspired by the contemporary Baroque architecture, it is organized in two streets and three registers, and is topped by a cornice flown with a central winding pediment. The whole structure is rigorously organized by regular straight lines, which affect the differentiation of each of the different parts of the structure, following a purely classical criterion, typical of the Baroque even in its most ornamental aspects, according to which the decoration must adapt Always to the structure, without ever surpassing it, so that the master lines of this one are perfectly legible, as well as the relation of proportion and balance of the parts with each other and with respect to the whole. Following this IDEA, we see the front divided into two streets and three registers, and these last have their continuation in the lateral ones, with cajeados in this case only molded, without the visible size in the front, although emphasized by the work of volumes and contrasts Light, typically Baroque, achieved by the simple use of moldings and staggered. In the lower register we see two doors, each with its shield lock trimmed with double fleur de lys. Its design is organized around a central mixtilíneo central, typically Baroque, carved in its interior with a ridge of rock that speaks to us of the knowledge of the Rococo, although in the furniture, both structural and ornamental level, still dominating the language Baroque. The perimeter of entrances and protrusions of this central cajeado is repeated, with lines more and more complex, traced with moldings very elevated with respect to the bottom, that provide the contrast and the chiaroscuro own of the Baroque furniture. In addition, the central zone is highlighted by very bulky carvings based on vegetal scrolls, veneras and crescents of rock. The middle register, still belonging to the body under a visual level, houses two drawers of the same size and design, which combine the diamond-tipped cages with gold hardware decorated by chiseling. Finally the upper body also has two doors, like the lower one with its locks, and in fact follows an ornamental scheme similar to the one of the lower doors, although more developed and of vertical design. We see here also rockeries and vegetated turnbuckles, combined with a profuse molding of dynamic lines, typically Baroque. As a finish, under the cornice and in the central area, appears a stepped motif that is organized around the lines of two sinuous pediments, combined with floral and Classic carved motifs" Size: 155 x 76 x 267 cms.
