Escribanía (Writing Desk)

The delicate decoration of this object indicates that it was laborious and expensive. It represents the daily dynamics of a sector of the colonial society that knew how to write, and that is where its patrimonial value lies. This piece of furniture is part of the small activities that make up Venezuelan history.
