1352 - Massive Spanish Door Gate, 17th Century

Massive Spanish Door Gate, 17th Century Iron and wood. Dimensions: 191 x 84 cm; 257 x 182 x 130 cm. A large-scale gate constructed of vertical planks and lavishly ornamented with iron star-headed nails arranged in a regular grid, which reinforces its austere and monumental character. It features a central wicket gate with a cut-out profile, a wrought-iron knocker, a barred peephole, and prominent ironwork, as well as a coat of arms at the top that underscores its connection to a noble or stately setting. The patina of the wood and iron, along with the wear and tear from use, enhance its authenticity and historical value. Its typology and formal language reflect the Spanish tradition of the 17th century, where defensive function and ornamental richness are integrated into a piece of great visual impact. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
