The bargueño is a wooden piece of furniture of Spanish origin, manufactured between the 16th and 18th centuries, conceived for writing or filing papers, and suitable to be transported on the back of a mule or donkey. [1] Luxurious specimens can be finished in gold leaf and be adorned with ivory, shell or other inlay works. The name is of uncertain origin, coinciding with the name given to the inhabitants of the town of Bargas in the province of Toledo (Spain). [2] In other European languages, these pieces of furniture or their emuli are called "cabinet" (in French, English, German, Portuguese and Italian) and form a set with the desk furniture.
