Valencian Bargueño, XVII century.
In walnut.
Measurements: 172 x 144 x 52 cm.
Baroque bargueño. It has a lower body or taquillón, closed, raised on claw feet that isolate it from the floor, preserving it from humidity. This lower body consists of two doors articulated by large metal hinges in view, and is decorated with a carved geometric motif, developing rhythmically in both panels. The upper body is closed by a single hinged door, with metal hinges and elaborate metal keyhole escutcheon handles with a stylized vegetal design. When opened, the door gives access to numerous compartments and drawers, of varying measurements, decorated with a geometric design of rhomboidal carving. The center is occupied by a small chapel with secret compartments behind the pilasters. The upper body of the cabinet is topped by an entablature with a projecting molded cornice, and with the front decorated, once again, with geometric fretwork. This entablature is, once again, a concealed pull-out drawer with metal handles.
