Bargueño from Salamanca, also called a columnilla model, with an uncovered sample. On the sides, disorganized, we see arched handles with central lentil and long hinges typical of the time.
it is decorated with carved moldings forming complex geometric designs, both on the front of the drawers and on the shelves and sides.
In addition, it features bone applications, matching the desk, and chiseled metal plates on the front of each drawer. These plates display a classic vase motif, and function as large lock shields. On the outer molding of the drawer fronts we see the silver-headed nails that are also repeated on the desk. For the rest, we see a simpler decoration than that of the upper piece of furniture, as is common in this type of pieces, given that the desk at this time is the representation piece of furniture par excellence, and the locker is an accessory support piece of furniture.
This type of Salamanca desk is typically Spanish, normally disorganized on the outside (when it has a hinged top) but nevertheless of great wealth in the interior display. They are characterized by a decoration based on bone columns, turned and golden, as we see here. Likewise, the drawers follow different models, which are usually mixed: from a very simple design, only with moldings (which does not appear here), to an architectural scheme that may be polychrome or gilded with water. In the case of this bargueño we see three registers with different drawers and two doors, following two different models, one for the doors and the other for the drawers, regardless of their size.
Since this is an open-ended sample desk, each drawer and door has its separate lock. All of them have on their foreheads the typical columns of this model, made of ivory carved with a torso shaft, and plates of the same material chiseled to the nib. The doors follow a markedly Baroque architectural scheme, with corbels, cornices and a split curved pediment in addition to the columns. The drawers feature scallop-shaped handles, typical of this model, and arches inspired by the Flemish designs of Vredeman de Vries, a sort of Serlian with the depressed central arch. The space under the arch presents a strong compartmentalization, based on linked rectangles, which indicates that we are facing an advanced moment within the Baroque.
Although this model has existed since the time of Philip III, at the beginning of the century, in this model we see numerous features that indicate a more advanced date, a full evolution of the model. Thus, the fact that the columns are torsas, as well as the profusion of decorative elements and gilding, indicate an advanced moment within the 17th century. Thus, the motifs multiply, colors, materials and textures are combined, and the drawers are compartmentalized with diagonal lines (visible in the chiselled ivory plates), elements that already speak to us of a fully formed baroque.
