Baroque side table, ca.1700.Walnut wood with marquetry on the top.With lateral wings.With xylophages. Wear and tear due to use and the passage of time. Needs to be reworked.Measurements: 75 x 87 x 44 cm (closed); 87 cm (diameter of open top).Spanish table from the Baroque period made of walnut, decorated with turned and carved mouldings. It has a rectangular top and a solid lower structure with a high waist with a drawer and four legs joined by a perimeter frame. It has two lateral extensible wings that turn the piece of furniture into a round table. The legs are worked with mouldings and lentils typical of the Baroque style. The construction of the piece of furniture is simple and solid, based on assemblies and one-piece tops. The top has a chessboard worked in marquetry.The 17th century in Spain was a period of decadence and this is reflected to a great extent in the furniture. There were not as luxurious pieces as in other countries, a fact also determined by the pragmatics against luxury dictated by the monarchs. However, Spanish furniture from the Baroque period was of considerable quality, with an enormous personality and, above all, a great interest from the point of view of typology and the search for functionality over decoration.
