Cornucopia. Gilded wood. Century XVIII. Rectangular cornucopia with a carved and gilded wooden frame decorated with a series of smooth moldings and with a very elaborate finish at the top (arranged in a symmetrical composition, architectural and vegetal elements, volutes, etc. can be seen). Although the smooth moldings are very classic details common in Neoclassicism, the lines, curves and movement of the crest are characteristics of Rococo.

Snuffers with cover. Silver. Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez, Madrid, 1846. With contrast markings. Scissors to cut the wick of candles, known as snuffers, made of silver in their color that have a decoration with a marked classicist influence in all their elements. The set is completed by a cover with a circular base and a fluted body (of a type known as “umbrella” due to its shape) that was very common in many candlesticks of the time. The hallmarks indicate that they were made in Madrid in 1846, in the Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez (or Platerías Martínez), created by Real Cédula in 1778 by Carlos III and thanks to Antonio Martínez Barrio (died in 1798). To see how popular this model was, compare it with the sheathed snuffers by Ramón Espuñes, dated 1847, which are preserved in the National Archaeological Museum (Madrid, Spain). And to see something similar, with the couple dated 1838 and made by Platerías Martínez from the Madrid History Museum. Weight: 406 grams.

Renaissance bronze bell, 1555. Dated. Stem decorated with plant elements, the shoulders are decorated with elegant lines, the middle presents profiles within plant garlands and two legends above and below in Latin. Bells were already used by Catholics to call the faithful since the 5th century, but their civil use and in other religions are already known in Greek and Roman times. Its decoration, made in relief, places it in the Renaissance due to its inspiration in Roman coins for the profiles and plant elements it presents. Likewise, the date on the body places the creation of the piece with certainty, in addition to adding value to it. The inscriptions prove its religious use.

Bad job. Watercolor. Signed towards the lower left corner. LLANECES, JOSÉ DE SAN BARTOLOMÉ (Madrid, Spain, 1863-1919). José de San Bartolomé was a Spanish painter and sculptor who worked since he was a child in the photographer Herbert's workshop and began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts of Madrid, expanding it at the Higher School of Painting of the Academy of San Fernando, while copying works of the Prado masters. In 1886 he settled in Paris, dedicating himself above all to genre painting in the wake of Fortuny, a theme that enjoyed great commercial success. He meets Francisco Domingo, who opens the doors of the Buenos Aires market, where he will receive important painting and sculpture commissions. He was Secretary of the Society of Artists of Paris, in 1894 he was appointed knight of the order of Charles III, in 1901 of the Legion of Honor and, in 1902, commander of the order of Isabel la Católica. At the beginning of the century he returned to Spain, and dedicated himself mainly to portraiture, although he also created landscapes and popular subjects. He enjoyed the protection of royalty, an example of which is the portraits he painted of Queen María Cristina and several court figures. In 1925 the Paris Salon paid him a posthumous tribute with an exhibition of his work held in France. Work by Llaneces is preserved in the Prado Museum, the Pablo Sarasate Museum in Pamplona and in the Spanish embassy in Paris.

Framed miniature; "Sacred Family". Wood, paint. Century XVIII; later framing. The oval frame made of carved and gilded wood has smooth moldings, and has an openwork upper finish made of scrolls and simplified vegetal details. On one side, Saint Joseph is presented in three quarters, wearing a tunic and habit and holding the flowered wand and carrying in his arms the Child Jesus, who is lying down and naked. On the other side you can see, also in three quarters, a miniature of the image of Our Lady of Soledad de la Victoria of Madrid (or of some Soledad inspired by it, which was the first image of this dedication in Spain). Stylistically, the two images present a strong influence of Spanish Baroque models and iconography, as was common in Spanish religious art of the 18th century (compare, for example, with “Saint Joseph with Child Jesus” by Murillo preserved in the Auckland Art Gallery , or with the work on the same theme made by Alonso del Arco and today in the Museum of Navarra). The dedication of Our Lady of Solitude had as its main image the carving of Gaspar de Becerra (which was in the Convent of Our Lady of Victory in Madrid and later in the Collegiate Church of San Isidro, where it was lost), which was used as inspiration for a large number of paintings and sculptures. This type of miniatures decorated with religious images were usually used as elements of particular devotion.
