TABLE. WALNUT, IRON. SPANISH SCHOOL, GUADALAJARA(SPAIN), 17TH CENTURY.

Table. Walnut wood, iron. Spanish school, Guadalajara, 17th century. Table with a plain, rectangular top, four spheres beneath the four legs (the legs joined by brackets that spring from rectangular blocks and are carved with spherical elements accompanied by lentil-shaped or disc-like forms), and a carved waist at the bottom of the front. This section also features a lockable drawer decorated with a carving of plant motifs divided into two rectangular areas; inside, a panel creates two compartments. Note the dovetail joints. As one of the most common types of furniture in the Castilian school of antique Spanish design, similar examples can be found in important private collections and prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with some of the sideboards in the Lope de Vega House Museum in Madrid (one with column legs dates from the first half of the 17th century), or with some of those preserved in the Cervantes House Museum in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid (in particular, one has a leg design similar to the one shown here; the museum version dates from the 17th century and is registered under inventory number CE00113).

ORNAMENTAL MIRROR WITH CREST, 18TH CENTURY.

Cornucopia with prominent crest in carved and gilded wood, 18th century. A cornucopia with a rectangular mirror inside, its frame adorned with simple moldings (some concave, some straight, and some convex) without exaggerated movement, and on the outside, delicate garlands of flowers.

WEDDING CHEST. WOOD, TEXTILE, METAL, REMAINDERS OF POLYCHROMY. SALAMAN...

Ark. Carved wood, metal, textile, traces of polychromy. Salamanca area, 17th century. A rectangular chest with a flat lid, carved from wood, retaining traces of its original polychromy, corner pieces, and other metal fittings, as well as textile details in certain areas. The exterior is decorated with a molding along its lower section featuring curved motifs and simple carved vegetal decoration arranged in a rigid symmetry, highlighting a capital inscription on the front (“Viva María / Fernandez”) alluding to the original owner of the piece. The interior is undecorated, with only the hinge fittings and exposed wood. The flat-lidded, rectangular chest was a common model in Spanish art from the Middle Ages onward, its decorative elements varying with the passage of time and changing styles. The metal components of the chest (corner pieces on red fabric, a lock shield on the front, internal hinges, handles on the sides for moving it, etc.) feature a wavy and finial decoration reminiscent of Baroque designs, as well as columns (flanking the keyhole). The carved decoration on the front (simplified flowers, stems, leaves, and perched birds, with simple polychromy in three colors—red, green, and yellow) is not particularly refined (a common feature in folk examples) and follows a composition and color scheme typical of folk chests from the Salamanca area. Walnut was commonly used in its construction (as with all Spanish furniture, due to the wood's durability and abundance at the time). Adding a feminine name in capital letters on the front (a detail that would indicate that the present piece of furniture is a chest made to store a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration on a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element to highlight in the present piece of furniture. A similar model is mentioned in one of the most frequently used reference books on Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. El mueble español en los siglos XV, XVI y XVII. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; plate 74; A beautiful example of a bridal chest or ark, in the popular Spanish style of the 17th century, with rudimentary carvings forming a series of stems, flowers, and animals. It is polychrome and bears the name of its owner in the center: 'Viva María Hernández'. .

PEDESTAL TABLE IN MAHOGANY, GEORGE II STYLE, U.S.A., CA 1860.

Folding mahogany side table in the George II style, USA (America), circa 1860.

American furniture owes much to English design, as this example demonstrates: it follows the so-called George II style, named after the monarch during whose reign it was created (he was born in 1683 and died in 1760), and is based on models taken from Renaissance Roman architecture.

TRUNK. LEATHER, WOOD, IRON. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17-18TH CENTURY.

Chest. Wood, leather, iron. Spanish School, circa 1700. A rectangular wooden chest with a curved lid, covered in leather on the exterior, with fittings, handles, tacks, and two front closures. It has a front and top opening. Inside, there is a lower compartment accessible from the front, divided in two by a vertical wooden panel. The lid and part of the chest are lined with fabric. The back is not leathered. The round-headed nails are arranged in geometric patterns. The handles are decorated with discs. The fittings, also ornate, follow designs based on architectural motifs, which are also present on the lock shields on the front. Some of the metal elements still show traces of gilding. These types of trunks were known as "travel trunks" because they were typically used to store belongings on journeys, hence the leather covering and the apparent lack of decoration on the exterior. The two locks provided added security, as both keys had to be combined to open the trunk, and these keys were usually entrusted to two different people. Compare this to the 17th-century travel trunk from the Viceroyalty of Peru in the Museum of the Americas (Madrid), which features animal and plant motifs (embossed leather). Or compare it to the 17th-century chest of the Mayorazgo de la Cerda estate in the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid).
