Table with turned leg. Walnut wood. Possibly Castile, Spain, 17th century. Walnut wood table carved in its natural color with a straight top, two drawers at the front decorated with interconnected circles (the two outer ones with a star on both and wooden handles) and four turned legs with balustrade shapes joined together by straight chambranles (decorated only at the bottom with a simple cutout on the front side, matching the cutout edge of this front under the drawers). As one of the most common types of furniture in the Castilian school of antique Spanish design, it is relatively common to find similar examples in important private collections and prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with the so-called "Inquisition Desk" from around 1600, which is in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, or with several 17th-century sideboards in the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid) and the Lope de Vega House Museum (Madrid).
