Beschreibung
Mudejar cabinet chest in walnut wood with bone inlay. Decorative “Pinyonet” or rice grain technique. Aragonese manufacture from Teruel. Torrellas. 16th century.
32 x 48 x 29.5 cm.
Magnificent example of Aragonese Mudejar furniture. Structurally, it has two hinged doors and an interior body divided into three sections, the first being a single receptacle without a lid, while the last two house drawers: the central section is divided into two drawers, and the lower one is composed of a single drawer.
It retains all its original iron fittings: hinges, handles and the lock, which remains complete but has lost the surround for the keyhole.
As is usual in the highest quality examples, this cabinet chest is completely covered with “Pinyonet” decoration.
The front of the chest is ornamented with a very architectural design that, in our opinion, creates a sensation of depth on two planes. In the second plane, there is a balustrade with two large arcades decorated on the inside with a border of geometric motifs, which end on both sides with a kind of fountain vase at each end, all supported by amphorae serving as columns, topped by a pomegranate on each side.
Superimposed in the foreground of this landscape are two square vases that preside over the decoration. Nine flowers in their maximum splendor are displayed in the vases and there are also two lateral ones that seem to wither towards their pots, with the intention of creating movement in order to, with this format, better combine their forms with the previously mentioned amphorae on each side. A simplified version with some variations of this decoration can be found on the inside of the upper lid.
The sides present concentric circles with sinuous garlands. Following the same pattern, we find richer and more elaborate decoration on the inside of the front lid. It should be noted that the lid has old stains, perhaps ink stains, due to the use of the lid as a writing desk.
Finally, the decoration on the drawers displays elements that we have already seen adorning the external part of the chest, such as pomegranates, eight-pointed stars typical of the Mudejar style, flowers and sinuous garlands.
It is very interesting to read the article recently published in 2023, in “Vegueta. Anuario de la Facultad de Geografía e Historia” by Mª Isabel Álvaro Zamora "El mobiliario en las casas zaragozanas del siglo XVI. Léxico, funcionalidad, ornato y prestigio" (Furniture in 16th century Zaragoza homes. Lexicon, functionality, ornament and prestige), because, as she says in her introduction, she ’studies the furniture existing in 16th century houses, of varied social class and different economic position in Zaragoza [,] based on unpublished documentation from the archive of notarial protocols of Zaragoza (which includes, above all, inventories, as well as partitions of goods, sales, wills, marriage contracts, repossessions and work contracts)’.
As it is of specific interest to the piece we present here, we quote an excerpt from section 2.7. dedicated to the “Escritorio, Escribanía, Arquimesa”, included in the section “Muebles de guardar y exhibir” (Furniture for storing and exhibiting) which, as the author indicates, groups together “all those pieces of furniture whose main function was to store one or more types of belongings in their interior or exterior, with the intention of keeping them safe, although some of these pieces of furniture, because of their material, shape and coating, could be decorative objects in themselves”. Such would be the case with this desk.
Álvaro Zamora explains that “the documentation consulted in Zaragoza shows that they were almost exclusively owned by the wealthier classes. Thus, we find this type of cabinet chest in the living rooms of the houses of several gentleman merchants. As an example, the “pine cabinet chest with its lock and key” owned by Joan de Palomar, with the “the books of the business, study scissors, a lead inkwell and a dustpan”; the “walnut chest with a base”, that both Miguel Piquer and Miguel de Portas had, the first having documents related to Piquer´s trade and the second having numerous delivery notes, cash, some jewels and silver pieces, a mirror, a prayer book and even a gold tooth cleaner, which also had “two writing desks with two knives and scissors”. They were also found in the study of some notaries, such as Francisco Tobeña, who had “a large pine desk with a red cloth cover” (upholstered). And, exceptionally, we find another one in the house of two well-placed Moors from Villafeliche (Zaragoza), in 1609, a year before their expulsion. [...]
However, the most refined and expensive examples were owned by nobles, such as Count Sástago II or the Duke of Villahermosa IV. Of the former, two archives were recorded in the study of his house in Pina de Ebro, one “in which there are two large drawers full of writings”, and another “of walnut carved with inlaid wood”, with documents of the county possessions and lineage kept in their drawers, and writing utensils (“silver and lead inkwells, penknives, silver powder compact and tin salver”). The second had “two small desks of plain wood”, “a small writing desk made of inlaid wood covered in black leather with eight drawers”, there was another one “with eight drawers inside and covered in crimson velvet with golden studs” and another one “made of inlaid wood with eight drawers”, as well as “a chest cabinet covered with green velvet with golden studs and six drawers” and another “of inlaid wood with two drawers”, presumably Spanish furniture that joined other German furniture, such as “a wooden desk from Germany with five drawers”, “a chest cabinet with German inlay with gilded trimming and ten drawers” and another, ‘of German wood with seven drawers and gilded studs with six pieces of carved glass rings.’ It is clear that the upper classes treasured the best chest cabinets as luxury objects that they exhibited and which gave them prestige, from the examples with Torrellas inlay to the pieces that were gilded and upholstered with the best leathers and fabrics, or the highly prized German ones, arriving especially from Ausburg.”
This lot has been imported, so its export permit from the Ministry of Culture is guaranteed.
