About the Item

An exquisite Spanish Colonial 17th Century Taquillón, a piece that epitomizes the craftsmanship and artistic sensibility of the Spanish Baroque period. This beautifully carved chest, dating back to around 1650-1700, was traditionally used for storage in grand halls or religious institutions. It features the intricate geometric and foliate motifs that were characteristic of Spanish furniture design during the 17th century, a time when the influence of Moorish artistry was still very much present. The taquillón is crafted from dark walnut wood, meticulously carved and enhanced by inlays of contrasting light wood, which creates a striking visual appeal. The design includes deeply carved borders and central panels with geometric patterns, reflecting the Moorish influence on Spanish design. Each detail of the carvings is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the period, highlighting both the decorative and functional aspects of the furniture. This chest includes four drawers, all with original iron locks, further enhancing the historical value of the piece. The drawers are spacious and glide smoothly, offering both practicality and elegance. These characteristics indicate the piece’s potential use not only for storage but also as a statement piece in grand Spanish interiors, possibly within a noble estate or religious monastery. The taquillón has been well-preserved over the centuries, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with its age. The dark patina of the walnut wood complements the lighter inlays, creating a bold contrast that adds to its commanding presence. This piece not only represents an era of opulent craftsmanship but also stands as a historical artifact, echoing the grandeur of Spain’s golden age. NOTE: The keys was redone in the mid 20th Century.
