Wastebasket type chest made of walnut wood, with tortoiseshell sheets applied in each of the drawers, forming a homogeneous decoration of rhythmic and geometric pattern, when combined with wood moldings and bone inlay outlining each drawer. It follows a baroque typology of uncovered sample, in which the studied contrast between colors and textures stands out. The sample is organized in four streets and three registers. The central door has been resolved by combining bone inlay and tortoiseshell sheets to emulate a niche with a checkered floor that creates a certain illusion of depth. Inside, it hides three drawers. The bargueño stands on clawed ball feet, a typical solution of the period. It is accompanied by a matching table from the same period, with sogueted legs joined with wrought iron fasteners.
