This finely crafted Bargueño cabinet comes from Barcelona and dates to the late 19th century. Constructed in two parts, the upper cabinet features a fall-front working surface that opens to reveal a fitted interior with shelving, while the exterior is mounted with repoussé brass appliqués depicting a crowned double-headed eagle and armorial shields—hallmarks of Spanish heraldic iconography. The stand is supported by bold barley twist and fluted legs joined by stretchers and a carved Gothic-style frieze, accented with pierced brass mounts and shell motifs. The solid construction and substantial iron carrying handles reflect the piece’s historical function as a portable desk for nobility.
