Spanish Colonial Writing Table/Console, circa 18th-19th Century

About the Item

This is a superb example of a late 18th century or early 19th century Spanish Colonial, most probably Mexican, three-drawer writing desk. The mesquite (perhaps sabino) wood structure is solid, with no apparent restorations. The 24-inch single board top is an indication of the age of this table. There are areas of natural patina and wear which have been filled in. (The table is currently out for professional polishing with several coats of hard paste wax. Spanish Colonial pieces of this age and original condition are increasingly difficult to obtain. The rusticity and simplicity of this table will meld with several design aesthetics from period to midcentury.

  • Stunning Antique, Early 1700s Hand Carved Wooden Spanish Blanket Chest / Trunk
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Renaissance style, cassone chest. This rare and practical size chest is of considerable age and it has an amazing patina. Thanks to the natural wear it looks exactly like you would expect and want a piece of this age to look. This good size chest comes with a heavy lid that is made out of one thick, large and striking slab of wood. Over the centuries the natural wear obviously required some of the parts of this chest to be replaced or strengthened and luckily former owners have made the effort. We salute them, because it has preserved the beauty and practicality of this very old antique. In case you did not know, in the compartment with the hinging lid on the right people would keep their candles. This all hand-crafted antique and talking piece stands perfectly strong and stabile and it can and will be used by many more generations to come. It can be used as a unique coffee table, but it will ofcourse also look marvelous to the wall of your entry hall, on a landing or at the footend of a bed. This chest in fact will look great in any space where it has the room to shine. It even comes with a perfect working, antique lock and key...
