Works produced by Belgian interior decoration workshops in Spain at the end of the 19th Century ; Obras de talleres belgas de decoración de interiores en España a finales del siglo XIX

This research brings to light interior decorations, mainly floorings, doors and wooden panelling, made by the Belgian company Damman Washer in the late 19th century palace of Víctor Chávarri in Bilbao. To a large extent, its aesthetics are in keeping with the Flemish neo-renaissance style, a style to which the building's design, signed by the architect Paul Hankar, also corresponds.

This research brings to light interior decorations, mainly floorings, doors and wooden panelling, made by the Belgian company Damman Washer in the late 19th century palace of Víctor Chávarri in Bilbao. To a large extent, its aesthetics are in keeping with the Flemish neo-renaissance style, a style to which the building's design, signed by the architect Paul Hankar, also corresponds. In addition, it so happens that this technician also designed proposals for the interior decoration of the building. In this sense, all the windows known today were designed in the same style. However, regardless of the fact that there are important neo-baroque decorations in the enclosure, the article also gives a good account of the Japanisme compositions in a bay window, most probably also originating in Belgium, which constitute an early example of this trend in Spain. ; La presente investigación saca a la luz decoraciones interiores, principalmente solados, puertas y panelados de madera, realizados por la empresa belga Damman Washer en el palacio bilbaíno de Víctor Chávarri a finales del siglo XIX. En gran medida, su estética se enmarca dentro del neorrenacimiento flamenco, estilo al que también corresponde el proyecto del edificio, rubricado por el arquitecto Paul Hankar. Por otro lado, se da la circunstancia de que este técnico también diseñó propuestas para la ornamentación interior del inmueble. En ese sentido, todas las conocidas hoy día fueron resueltas dentro de esa misma corriente. No obstante, con independencia de que en el recinto haya importantes decoraciones neobarrocas, el artículo también da buena cuenta de las composiciones japonistas existentes en un bay window, muy probablemente originarias también de Bélgica, que constituyen un ejemplo temprano de esa tendencia en España.
