Tocador y biombo en los interiores domésticos en el Burgos del Setecientos: mobiliario para la vanidad

Abstract

In a little number of homes in the city of Burgos, its owners had furniture characterized by its remarkable exclusivity. It is about the presence, in their domestic interiors, of dressing tables, chests of drawers and folding screens. We find the dressers in 7.7 % of the inventories collected. The screen in, only, 4.5 %. If we take into account that the couch, had been included in the rooms of 9% of the houses and that such a curious refinement as «A table for lunch and dinner in bed» only appears in 5.6 %, we intend to carry out a historical reconstruction on items marked by singularity, materialized in homes given to the search for notoriety, comfort and, perhaps, tormented by the tyranny of fashion.
