Cabinet in Carved Oak, Spain, 1940

About the Item

A façade of rhythmic florals emerges from a field of quiet geometry—each rosette delicately recessed in its own square niche, like votive offerings set into a chapel wall. This cabinet presents not as furniture but as a ceremonial artifact: sculpted, storied, and imbued with the visual gravity of architectural relief. Carved in solid oak and attributed to the Spanish Colonial tradition, the piece revives the ornamental codes of 17th-century Iberian craftsmanship through early 20th-century artisanal production. The floral rosettes—each hand-carved in high relief—recall the residual Moorish influence on rural Spanish design, where symmetry and ornament coalesce in reverence to form. Hand-forged iron strap hinges and ring-pull handles root the piece further in historical continuity, recalling armoires of monastic or mission provenance. Its rectilinear massing is softened by a dentil cornice and shaped apron, while the oak surface bears a dry, timeworn patina—muted to the eye, tactile to the hand. Internally, wide oak shelving remains unembellished, reflecting the austere functionality of its lineage. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. This is a piece that offers gravity without weight—an object of storage, yes, but also of devotion. It lives quietly, yet with ancestral resonance. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
