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).
