Bargueño, Spanish school, 18th century

Descriptio Walnut and metal fittings. Dimensions: Headboard 52 x 93 x 40 cm; Overall: 129 x 93 x 52 cm. A bargueño (a type of writing desk) with an architectural front, a hinged lid, and an interior organized with numerous drawers and small doors, designed for writing and document storage. The geometric arrangement of the piece and the understated moldings reflect a functional tradition of great compositional clarity. Its structure, raised on a turned base, and the wealth of interior compartments place it firmly within the tradition of 18th-century Spanish furniture. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
