Rare 17th Century Spanish Colonial Taquillon Cabinet Sideboard Buffet

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.

Rare 17th Century Oak and Brass 4-Door Buffet from Saint-Malo, France, C. 1690

Located in Dallas, TX

This grand and distinctive piece of furniture from Northern Brittany is known as a “buffet malouin” and was created in the late 17th century. These types of cabinets were created for important homes in the historic port city of Saint-Malo. The design, with large octagonal molded panels, double colonettes, and finely cut brass fittings, is unique to other French furniture of the period. The design was directly influenced by the Dutch mariner carpenters living in Saint-Malo at the time (the Dutch beeldenkast cabinet shows similarities) The large four-door cabinet was carved in oak, as was most of the other “malouin” furniture pieces. It is an imposing and impressive piece, standing over 7 feet tall and nearly 7 feet wide. The front of the piece has twisted, double colonettes, multi-profiled cushion-shaped octagonal panels, and finely cut brass key hole escutcheons, drawer pulls, and lozenge plates. There are 3 drawers, 2 of which are full sized, with a smaller drawer in the center. 3 large bun feet along the front hold up the entire piece, while 2 block feet support the rear. Each door has its own functioning key and lock, with a yet another key for the center drawer. Door and drawer panels are solid and impressive old pieces of oak, which still open and close with ease, indicating the quality of construction and great care that this piece has received over the centuries. The “meuble malouin” in the form of a large 4 door buffet is not often easily found. Research shows photos of several models in various states that have come to surface, but they were not nearly pervasive as French case...
