Un armario español de nogal de estilo Barroco, del siglo XVII o posterior, tallado en nogal, originario de Aragón, España, con dimensiones 67 x 108 x 39 cm, en buen estado con ligeros signos de desgaste y restauraciones.
Descripción del vendedor
This 17th-century Aragonese cabinet stands as a bold and refined precursor to modern minimalism, where the purity of its geometric lines anticipates the "less is more" aesthetic by several centuries. The piece is a paradigmatic example of the beauty of simple forms; its front, organized by a rigorous grid of drawers and doors, dispenses with superfluous ornamentation, relying entirely on the proportion and balance of its volumes for its visual impact.
The excellence of this work lies, fundamentally, in the nobility of its materials. Carved entirely from walnut, the piece boasts a striking simplicity where the natural grain of the wood acts as the sole and sophisticated decorative element. The robustness of Aragonese walnut, combined with impeccable technical execution, transforms this cabinet not only into a functional object of ample capacity, but also into an architectural sculpture that celebrates the constructive honesty and timeless elegance of 17th-century Spanish cabinetmaking.
Provenance: Private collection, Madrid.
Dimensions: Cabinet: 67 x 108 x 39 cm
Condition: Good condition, with slight wear and restorations consistent with its age.
Shipping: The piece will be professionally packed and shipped. Please note that the shipping costs indicated are estimates; the final amount may vary depending on market rates and specific packaging requirements for shipping both pieces separately.
