Fall-front Cabinet and furniture in the Liman daily life at the end of the 17th century

Abstract

Within the furniture that came from Spain since the founding of the City of Kings in 1535, the fall-front cabinet is part of everyday life; this piece of furniture adapts to the taste of the new Liman resident, and has a series of manifestations in the viceroyalty that are reflected in its aesthetics and material. It fulfills an important and diverse role within the different spaces of Lima´'s dwelling houses; and its use in everyday life is hugely present. At the end of the 17^th century, we already found expressions of said furniture in the different cities of the viceroyalty and especially in the capital of the viceroyalty of Peru, about which we are going to write.
