| The La Paz shows the Spanish
influence on furniture design from the mid-
1800’s to 1900. Its construction of solid
Honduras mahogany reflects the emphasis in Spain
on lustrous woods and sturdy construction. A
massive table, its straight lines and precisely
carved panels are typical of the
straightforward, masculine style of the
Mediterranean area in the 19th century. The
raised panels are hand detailed and typical of
the popular millwork outside of the Spanish
royal court. The straight legs demonstrate the
far-reaching influence of the English designer
Thomas Chippendale, who introduced the straight,
square leg in the mid-to-late 1700’s. |
