Rare Spanish Trunk From The Viceroyalty Of Peru – 17th Century

An important and authentic Spanish trunk from the Viceroyalty of Peru, a remarkable testament to the exchanges between Spain and South America during the colonial era. This trunk consists of a wooden frame entirely covered in embossed leather, richly decorated with scrollwork, stylized foliage, and lions—symbols of power and authority prevalent in Spanish iconography of the period. The finely embossed leatherwork is characteristic of South American colonial productions intended for the civil or ecclesiastical elite. The locks, hinges, side handles, and metal elements are original. The trunk is complete and retains all of its original features. However, it no longer has its key, which is common for this type of antique object. Overall, it is in good condition. Dimensions: – Length: 93 cm – Width: 50 cm – Height: 47 cm. A rare find on the market, this trunk is a choice piece for a characterful interior, a colonial art collection, or a museum or scenographic project. It can also serve as a storage chest while retaining a strong decorative and historical presence. Relisted due to non-payment...yet another one...
