About the Item

Spanish writing desks of this period are the most distinctive pieces of Spanish furniture conceived as visual displays of incredible virtuosity. The characteristic decoration of the outer fall front with its metal pierced mounts over red velvet, locks and catches is arresting and the interior typical Spanish bold simplicity with excellent chip carving, simple ornament and beautiful metalware. Vargueno bases are almost always associated either with a modern Stand or a marriage of different pieces. This taquillon has been specifically made for this vargueno with matching ornament, probably in the early 19th century, harmoniously uniting with the escritorio. This is a beautiful, atmospheric piece of cabinet furniture functioning comfortably as a writing desk with lots of storage. In two parts. The outside edge of the vargueno box or escritorio has two decorative pierced metal mounts along the top, down the sides and two at the top edge with iron catches to secure the fall-front in place when it is not locked. This escutcheon is surrounded by five diamond-shaped panels with pierced metal mounts, the top two have central drop handles for lowering the fall and the remaining three have central cone shaped bosses as decorative features. The four side panels have pierced metal mounts and latches to lock and release the fall. The sides are fitted with a hexagonal panels with pierced mounts and carrying handles. All of these metal panels retain their original red velvet which is typically worn due to age and use. The fall opens to reveal a fitted interior with a central cupboard decorated with a circular chip carved motif around an iron escutcheon with its original working lock and hinges. Three short drawers on either side, two pairs of short drawers centered below and two small cupboards either side with original working locks and hinges. All the cupboards and drawers are mouled and faced with chip carved decoration and the drawers retain their original Santiago shell handles and iron escutcheons. The fall front retains its original hinges and cleated sides. . It is fitted with four drawers with the same carved decoration as the large cupboard in the interior, three fitted with original working locks, the fourth has been removed. The frame and sides of the taquillon are decorated with architecturally inspired carving similar to that on an escritorio in the Museo des Arts Decorativas Inv 2.834. The sides have carrying handles.
