Table. Walnut wood, iron. Spanish School, Guadalajara, 17th century.
Table with a smooth rectangular top, four spheres under the four legs (joined by chamfers starting from rectangular cubes and carved with spherical elements accompanied by lenses or discs), and a carved belt in the lower part of the front. In this part there is also a drawer with a key lock, decorated with a carving of plant motifs divided into two rectangular areas; inside, a board creates two spaces. Note the dovetail joints. As this is one of the most common types of furniture of the Castilian school among all old Spanish furniture, it is possible to find similar examples in important private collections and in leading institutions. Compare, for example, with some sideboards in the Casa Museo Lope de Vega in Madrid (one of them, with column feet, is dated to the first half of the 17th century), or with some of those preserved in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares in Madrid (in particular, one of them has a composition on the feet similar to that of the current one, the one in the museum dated to the 17th century and registered under inventory number CE00113). -
