Axe. Wrought iron. 20th century. Tall wrought iron torch holder with a tripod base formed by scrolls and a triangular piece from which the axis emerges (with a balustrade profile with discs). This ends in a plate from which an openwork piece starts that would hold the candle. The scrolls, the lines of the axis, simplified plant details, etc. show a clear influence of ancient works, especially from the Baroque of the 17th century. This inspiration is frequent within the framework of Historicisms.

Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. Pair of stirrups made up of a block of carved wood, in the shape of a half moon at the front, and decorated on the outside with geometric and vegetal elements, and an iron surround. Since metal was reserved for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently to make stirrups in Chile. The shape of the present pair, which follows a common typology of the time, seems to have been derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups to protect from water, branches, etc., and the artisanal development carried out mainly by the Jesuits in the area was what led to this type of carving and decoration, which survives to this day.

Oriental barrel-shaped vessel. Porcelain, metal. China, 20th century. With marks on the base (apocryphal, Xangxi). A barrel-shaped vessel with a flat lid, made of white-ground porcelain and decorated with a polychrome figurative composition based on plant motifs and scrolls on the lid, and upper-class figures set in a garden with pavilions, a large censer, a tiger and other animals, etc., on the body, on a frieze of repeated elements and under a double blue line at the top (this last detail also separates the stripes on the lid). Morphologically, it is reminiscent of the Chinese porcelain seats often used in gardens, but note that it has a lid with a metal washer and handles of the same material, elements that are not found on the known seating pieces. Next to these courtiers in the pavilion is a male figure on a water buffalo (a frequent motif in Chinese art, associated with either wise men or peasants or shepherds). The marks on the base, located within a double circular line, resemble those used on Chinese porcelain made during the Kangxi Empire (1662-1722), but are considered apocryphal.
