About
Bargueno of columns with foot bridge, Spain
With old original base.
Bargueno of Salamanca model, also called columns, with hinged front cover, decorated on the outside with metal plates cut and pierced, applied on a background of red cloth (frequent in this type). The lock shield is complex, and fixed and balusters typical of the time on the sides. The exterior decoration is completed, sides with handles arched central lentil and long cut hinges profile also very typical of this model. The heads of the nails are on the front take the form of scallops worked in relief, some new current in this kind of writing desks.
It stands on one foot vintage type bridge, made of wood carved and ebonised. Keep an architectural structure with side pads and three feet on each side, the central column-shaped helical shaft and the other two in the form of turned column and fluted shafts combines sleek bodies. See you on the legs that support the crossbars thick barguenno, topped by the classic bearded face masks carved in high relief, which are actually the tops of the brackets that support to cover bargueno, once opened. Both side supports are joined by a central arches richly decorated with carvings worked in various levels of relief, combining geometric and floral elements.
As usual in this model is that the present plane drawers. The exhibition is organized into three registers, as usual, although the central chapel that usually appears is replaced by different drawers. The both side register hosts a large drawers. The drawer handles all take the form of scallops, with matching nail heads outside.
While this model of desktop columns exists from the time of Philip III, early this century, in this model we see many features that indicate a later date, a separate mature model of midcentury. Thus, the columns remain combine smooth shaft and helical fluted, and distinctly baroque, and compartmentalization front side drawers is still simple.
