Ticket office. Walnut wood, wrought iron. Spain, 17th century. Rectangular low cabinet made of oak wood with wrought iron elements, raised slightly on four legs, with a slightly protruding straight top and fronts decorated with carvings, and two doors under two drawers, all with a key lock (lock shields decorated with simple lines only on the doors). When the doors are opened, access is given to a space divided in two by a shelf decorated with a series of cut-out lines on its lower edge. The upper part, under the top, has corbels carved with scrolls, tabs and simple architectural elements; on the sides of the front, grooves recall architectural motifs. The exterior of the doors and drawers and the sides of the cabinet are decorated with panels of different sizes and shapes (crosses, squares, rectangles), following a tradition deeply rooted in Spanish furniture and which allows the cabinet to be compared with works such as the cupboard (upper part with lattice doors) from the last third of the 17th century made of walnut, pine and iron which is preserved in the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid, or the cupboard with turned balusters from the 17th century which is in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Valladolid, for example.
