10: The Study off the Anteroom
Cabinet-vargueno 17th century Spain Walnut, metal, ivory, velvet; carved and gilded The 17th-century Spanish cabinet, of the Renaissance vargueno type, was made of walnut and decorated with carving, gilding and ivory fittings. On the flap is a copy of an engraved map of the Baltic Sea from 1703 and an enamelled inkpot of Russian manufacture. On the wall above the cabinet are four 17th-century Valencian earthenware plates with manganese painting, coated with lustre. The same technique was used to produce two vases standing on the cabinet and two small wine casks on the floor. |
