Archivador - Marquetería - A fine marquetry cabinet

- Veneers over oakwood construction, bronze parts, and giltwood crest.

This exclusive tabletop cabinet is presented as a transitional work that combines the formal sobriety of Neoclassicism with a touch of historical grace and sumptuousness. The main structure, cubic in shape with clean lines, is defined by exquisite marquetry in fine woods (possibly walnut, mahogany, and sycamore). On the front, the marquetry creates a geometric pattern of rectangles and squares.

The piece acquires a Baroque and solemn air thanks to the later and graceful addition of an antique finial or cresting of gilded wooden scrolls and rocaille, reminiscent of Louis XV. This fusion of styles, although anachronistic, lends it a unique character. The hinged front panel, which originally served as a desk or access to a compartmentalized interior, relied on simple hinges that have unfortunately been lost. Their simple replacement would be necessary to restore its original functionality. Despite the passage of centuries and historical events, this piece of furniture remains, even in 2025, an accessory of unparalleled refinement and enduring utility, serving as the perfect repository for personal documents, secret letters, or even modern technological devices like the iPad.
