Aparador / Wardrobe
Possibly a Vestry Cabinet
Attributed as Spanish Colonial
Late 19th century
Mahogany
Stained in the dark brown finish favored by Filipino craftsmen.
A Spanish Colonial (Filipino?) Mahogany wardrobe made in the late 19th century. The the foliate-carved crest above a conforming case fitted with two doors, opening to a hanging space on one side and drawers to the other, the whole elaborately carved with floral and foliate patterns. The case is raised on four heavily carved, cabriolet legs terminating in paw feet resting on a cloud base (an oriental motif not usually found on South American colonial cabinetry). This strange cloud-base motif is the basis for the possible Philippine attribution.
Dimensions: 75 in. H X 57 in. W X 24 in. D
