Table with fork braces. Walnut wood, wrought iron. Spain, 17th century. Table made of carved and turned walnut wood with four A-frame legs, two wrought iron hairpin bends, and drawers on both sides (four in total) decorated with plant-themed carvings. The legs feature a type of turning known as "lentil-shaped," with different types of discs depending on their width, creating a symmetrical composition, and positioned above and below a simple cylindrical base. The stretchers are carved with simplified plant forms, and the bends are decorated with discs and baluster-like shapes. The drawers are interspersed with projecting "S"-shaped pieces and have oval handles, while the sides feature simple geometric carvings. Compare, for example, with the walnut table with discs on the legs dating from the 17th century that is preserved in the collections of the former Municipal Museum of Madrid; with the Inquisition desk of the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid (in details such as the arrangement of the drawers); or with another dais table in walnut and pine wood with carved drawers and lenticular turned legs from the same museum, dating from the 17th century; a Castilian buffet table from the 17th century from the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid).
