Description
Aragonese chest, Aragonese School, 17th century Walnut with marquetry and inlays. Dimensions: 19 x 32 x 15 cm. A rectangular chest resting on turned legs and decorated with meticulous geometric marquetry on the lid and front. Rhomboid motifs formed by fine interlacing lines create an orderly and elegant composition, enriched by small inlays in contrasting tones. The central lock and the architectural simplicity of the piece reflect traditional models developed in Aragon during the Early Modern period. The precision of the decoration demonstrates remarkable craftsmanship, whilst the warmth of the walnut wood lends chromatic depth and a sense of the material’s nobility. These boxes were used to safeguard documents, jewellery and valuables, and were prized for both their practicality and their decorative richness. Dimensions: 19 x 32 cm.
