18th century ponderal weight. Bronze. Incomplete bronze ponderal, with the container vessel and two of the smaller ones, all cold decorated with incised and stamped motifs, simple edges on the small vessels and more complex borders on the container vessel. Nested cup weights are a set of cup-shaped weights that fit precisely inside each other. A complete set is one that retains all its original cups. The largest, called the keeper, consists of an upper lid with a handle and a closure, and weighs exactly the same as the sum of all the others. The second in descending order weighs half as much as the keeper, and the same as the sum of the rest. This proportionality is maintained until the last weight, called the disk or last piece, which is usually solid and closes the set. This principle remained unchanged until the introduction of the decimal metric system.

Quaking glass or wine-tasting glass. Silver. 18th century. One handle is missing. A vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with a flat handle curved in the shape of an “S” decorated with simplified plant elements, and a line of mortise-shaped pieces (gallon-shaped shapes) on the edge enhanced by a smooth band. Towards the inside it has strings of pearls and dots, and a cross on the bottom. Bernegales and mortise-shaped pieces were frequent in Spanish silverware in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. Compare with pieces such as the silver bernegal from the last third of the 17th century in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (perhaps from the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 from the same museum (inventory 3910), or the one by José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Table clock. Bronze. 1990s, modeled after August Moreau. In working order. Table clock with a raised base and gilt-bronze legs following 19th-century models and a white dial with Roman numerals for the hours. It is topped with a bronze child figure modeled after Auguste Moureau (1834-1917), a French sculptor especially known for his delicate and naturalistic works, part of the Art Nouveau movement, a style of which he was a leading exponent. He made busts, figures, and small sculptures, and his designs were later adopted by many other bronze sculptors due to the artist's success and the quality of his pieces. Weight: 22 kg.

Peace-bearer. Bronze. 16th century. Bronze peace-holder with an asymmetrical “S” handle on the back, which features a slightly raised decoration on the front framed in an architectural composition decorated with elements of classical influence (a scallop shell at the top, plant elements in the upper area, columns with decorated shafts, architrave, base with semicircular arches, etc.), which has a heraldic shield in the centre of the lower area. Under a winged angel's head, the central theme of the peace-holder is presented: Lamentation over the body of the dead Christ, with the cross in the background, Mary with Christ, flanked by two figures. The heraldic shield is very similar to that of the House of Mendoza used by Íñigo López de Mendoza y de la Vega, 1st Marquis of Santillana, and progenitor and head of the Ducal House of Infantado (which also features it).

Monk's armchair. Walnut wood, leather. Spain, 16th century. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar's chair”, which has leather with studs on the seat and upper part of the backrest, very low chambranes joining the front legs with the back ones and middle chambranes or side rails (the front one carved with a relief of floral motifs flanking an empty heraldic shield in the round) joining the two front legs and the two back ones, and simple armrests, with the fluted fronts following architectural influences. The friar's chair, initially of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Being such a deep-rooted tradition in Spain, this type of model was never stopped being created. Requires restoration.

Spice rack. Silver. Spain, Cordoba, second half of the 18th century. With contrast marks. Silver spice rack in its colour with a truncated cone-shaped body, a sinuous lower edge resting on legs with scrolls and plant motifs, a semi-spherical bowl without divisions, a lid with a dome-shaped hinge and decorated with plant elements in high relief. The lid features a rose surrounded by a line of dots that create waves. The hallmarks place the piece's production in Córdoba, verified by Damián de Castro and by the hand of Juan Sánchez Soto (probably Cristóbal's son and brother), in the second half of the 18th century. Typologically, this is a spice rack belonging to a somewhat peculiar tradition or model, common in Córdoba and Madrid but also present in Gerona, Antequera, etc. Weight: 87 grams.

On the outside, it has a frieze of plant motifs above the keyhole.

The contrast between the plain moldings of the uncarved sections and the carvings, the absence of a crest, and the asymmetry present in the piece are striking. The latter was common in the early Rococo period, an artistic style born in France and developing primarily between 1730 and around 1760.
