Table with turned leg. Walnut wood. Possibly Castile, Spain, 17th century. Walnut wood table carved in its colour with a straight top, two drawers at the front decorated with interconnected circles (the two on the outside with a star on both and wooden handles) and four turned legs with balustrade shapes joined together by straight jambs (decorated only at the bottom with a simple cut-out on the front side, matching the cut-out edge of this front under the drawers). As this is one of the most common types of furniture in the Castilian school of all ancient Spanish furniture, it is relatively common to find similar examples in important private collections and prominent institutions. Compare, for example, the so-called “Bufete de la Inquisición” from around 1600 that is in the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid, or with several small 17th-century buffets in the Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid) and the Casa Museo Lope de Vega (Madrid).
