Buffet table. Walnut, iron. Spanish School, 16th century. Walnut table with a rectangular top projecting on the sides, iron fasteners decorated with discs, and stipe legs in the shape of coved columns joined at the bottom by a carved jamb with architectural elements ending in volutes, resembling in shape the so-called "Saint Anthony" legs. Walnut wood was the most common in antique Spanish furniture, and the lack of decoration in the upper area is due to the fact that these pieces of furniture were designed to be "dressed" (covered with a cloth). Compare, in general terms, the so-called Inquisition Buffet, dated around 1600 and housed in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid. A table with similar decoration, dating to the late 16th century, is also held in a private collection. These carved decorative elements on the legs show a clear classicist influence, which is why it is thought to be associated with the Renaissance.
