    A 17th-century Spanish walnut Bargueno cabinet. On either side of the drop-down door are flanked figures representing knights and clergy. In the upper center, there are also two figures holding a crown, and on either side of the two drawers are depicted figures. The drop-down door features beautiful ironwork, including a vertical rod opening and a central key and flap opening. When the drop-down door opens, there are 10 drawers and two doors, all beautifully molded.

    Two handles (one missing, see photo) on either side are used to carry the cabinet. The cabinet rests on a base with a central drawer; a spacer connects the four legs.

    The Bargueno cabinet takes its name from the village of Vargas (or Bargas) near Toledo, which specialized in the manufacture of this ornate furniture. From the beginning of the 16th century, it was a piece of travel furniture, referred to as an "escritorio." The front was locked by a flap that formed a writing desk when open, and the sides were equipped with carrying handles.
    During the 17th century, the bargueno gradually became a ceremonial piece of furniture.
