TABLE. WALNUT. POSSIBLY CASTILLE, SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Table with turned leg. Walnut wood. Possibly Castile, Spain, 17th century. Walnut wood table carved in its color with a straight top board, two front drawers decorated with interconnected circles (the two on the outside with a star on both and wooden handles) and four turned legs with balustraded shapes joined together by straight chambrances (decorated only on the lower part with a simple cutout which is located on the front side, matching the cut edge of this front under the drawers). Being one of the most common typologies in the Castilian school of all antique Spanish furniture, it is relatively common to find similar specimens in important private collections and prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with the so-called “Buffet of the Inquisition” from around 1600 found in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, or with several buffets from the 17th century in the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid). and the Lope de Vega House Museum (Madrid).
