Catalogue of the highly interesting and valuable collection of authentic Spanish antiques formed by Señor Luis Ruiz... : silver cathedral lanterns of the XVII century, the very rare carpets of the XVI & XVII century, the primitive paintings with their Gothic frames, also the wood and stone carvings, the Barguenos, cabinets, chests and chairs, the iron work and the old laces and fabrics
This 1921 auction catalogue from Clarke Art Galleries offers a collection of authentic Spanish antiques formed by Señor Luis Ruiz, sold to collectors and dealers. Its plates show carved Spanish furniture: a tall carved cabinet or fireplace-like piece with heraldic crest, a studded leather-backed chair with scroll stretcher, a decorated chest with studded metal panels, and a carved frieze. A designer might borrow the strong geometric panelling, studded upholstery, and scrolled carved ornament for period-style layouts.
