description The presence and permeability of the canapé, piece of furniture presents in some progressive and aristocratic homes in Burgos during the Century, indicates, as it happens with the chest of drawers and other sophisticated furniture, a search of an increasing comfort and commodity, connected with the modernity arrived from France with the Borbones dynasty. The achievement of a high status of elegancy and notoriety, full of luxury and distinction, was a characteristic not only of the more unfriendly nobility but also of the more “middle-class” socioprofessional categories, especially of the professional of the public administrations, the lawyers and of shopkeepers and military men. One of the main aspects to emphasize is the process of adaptation, by emulation, of the canapé in the eighteenth-century houses of Burgos. Is there a gradual and increasing introduction of such furniture in castilian domestic interiors? Did all socio-professional categories benefit equally from this circumstance?
