Abstract

This work studies one type of artistic production from the Viceroyalty of New Spain during the second half of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the following century. Furniture decorated with the technique of enconchado is studied to point out the influence of Namban lacquer as well as the relationship with enconchado painting, a better known and studied corpus than furniture, and also its link to Mexican lacquer, maque. The identification and study of three pieces of furniture that feature the enconchado technique, and a cross, probably decorated with maque, offer a complementary vision of the art of enconchado and allow us to consider enconchado furniture an independent artistic genre. Este trabajo estudia un tipo de producción artística del Virreinato de la Nueva España durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVII y principios del siglo siguiente. Se estudian los muebles decorados con la técnica del enconchado para destacar la influencia de la laca namban, así como su relación con la pintura enconchada, un corpus más conocido y estudiado que el mobiliario, y también su vínculo con la laca mexicana, el maque. La identificación y el estudio de tres muebles que presentan la técnica del enconchado, y una cruz, probablemente decorada con maque, ofrecen una visión complementaria del arte del enconchado y nos permiten considerar los muebles enconchados como un género artístico independiente.
