About the Item

Buffet in Carved Elm with Iron Hardware, Spain, 1940 A tactile monument to rural craftsmanship, this Spanish elm buffet commands with its deeply carved façade and forged iron accents. Its surface, weathered to a soft matte glow, reveals the muscular grain of elm—rippling like topography beneath the hand. Each panel holds shadow and light in rhythmic tension, recalling the portals of Iberian farmsteads. Attributed to a provincial Spanish workshop in the spirit of Castilian vernacular design, the piece draws upon centuries-old traditions of robust joinery and ornamental ironwork. The graphic strap hinges and key escutcheons, wrought by hand, speak to a lineage of craftsmanship anchored in medieval and Baroque rural cabinetry. Constructed from solid elm, the buffet’s architectural front is articulated by raised square panels carved in repetition. The upper drawers are joined with exposed dovetails, while the interior is compartmentalized for practical storage. Its stripped finish honors the raw material—leaving the grain exposed, expressive, and alive with character. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. This vintage Spanish sideboard offers presence without pretension—a grounded piece that resonates in both rustic and modernist interiors. It brings the spirit of the Spanish countryside indoors: warm, stoic, and storied. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
