This type of piece belongs to the regionalist Basque furniture movement that was very popular between 1900 and 1930, with a taste for:
inscriptions in the Basque language,
identity symbols (Basque cross),
architectural and sculpted forms. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
