Toledo artisans also work wood with their hands. A traditional art, which has made many Toledo houses have handmade wooden furniture inside, such as Bargueño or Taquillón. Artisan works that give a definitive character to any house or space that houses them. However, we cannot forget the importance of wood carvings, arches, benches, friar chairs, as well as Toledo chairs, tables and doors.
For some the Bargueño has its origin in the Toledo town of Bargas, while for others in a carpenter called Vargas. In any case, the characteristic of this piece of furniture is its ability to be transported, since most of them have handles on their sides. Like Toledo, the Bargueño is a piece of furniture with mysteries and secrecy, since it has an almost total absence of decorative motifs, limited to a light decoration based on forged and openwork fittings, while the interior is decorated with glass , bone, ivory or hawksbill encrustations.
