Spanish, 18th century or earlier.

An 18th century Spanish bargueno or vargueno traveling desk, used for storing documents, jewels, or sewing box. The six drawer chest is inset with bone, walnut, mahogany and heavily gilded. Featuring original iron hardware and an old auction label to interior stating the box is 17th century. In my opinion, the back is later as the box has had refinishing.
