Abstract

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.
