Spanish table with lyre leg and iron fasteners, 18th century. The two lyre legs that support the work have wavy lines at the bottom and shapes on the sides that recall those of French cabriolets. Both are joined with an iron fastener and support a single-piece board with carved edges. This type of leg, called lyre legs due to their resemblance to the musical instrument, was widely used during the Renaissance, and continued to be used later due to the movement that their curved profiles provided to the piece of furniture.

Bench. Walnut. Spanish school, 17th century. A bench made of carved walnut wood in its colour, with a backrest made up of a smooth rectangular board and a seat made up of another similar to the previous one, both arranged at an angle. The legs have a particular shape, known as “lyre-shaped”, and are decorated with plant and architectural motifs (scrolls) in relief. It also has two wooden “fasteners”, which have undulations in their profile. Lyre-leg tables originated in the Spain of Charles II, during the second half of the 17th century. The simplest ones have a simple cut in the side legs, and are even completely carved in models with peripheral centres. This support element, as can be seen, was also used in other types of furniture. The material is also the usual one in old Spanish cabinetmaking, although it should be noted that it seems that the most common thing is for the fasteners to be made of wrought iron.
