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.

Box or casket with royal monogram. Mahogany wood, metal. Spain, 19th century. It has slight damage. Rectangular box with a flat lid and key hole on the front decorated with metal applications on the corners, edges, handles, etc. Under the key hole it has a fleur-de-lis. The lid has a central motif with fleurs-de-lys and a crowned M, and alternating castles and crowned lions in the corners. This emblem (and the fact that it is accompanied by lions and castles alluding to Castilian heraldry) is reminiscent of the royal monograms that, apparently, all members of the royal family had in the past to mark their belongings. In this case, it is possible that it refers to María Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias (Palermo, 1806-SAinte-Adresse, 1878), wife of Ferdinand VII and regent during the minority of Isabel II. However, we must remember María Cristina of Habsburg-Lorraine or Austria (1858-1929), wife of Alfonso XII. The emblem of María de las Mercedes de Orleans y Borbón (Madrid, 1860-1878), wife of Alfonso XII, used to appear with two capital “emes”.

Weight of the 18th century. Bronze. Bronze weight, incomplete, with the container vessel and two of the smaller ones, all cold decorated with incised and printed motifs, simple edges on the small vessels and more complex borders on the container vessel. Nested cup weights are a set of cup or glass-shaped weights, which all fit precisely inside each other. A complete set is considered one that fully conserves all its original vessels. The largest, called a keeper, consists of a top lid with a handle and 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 disc or last piece, which is usually solid and closes the game. This principle will remain unchanged until the introduction of the decimal metric system.

Catavinos or scrapie. Silver. Century XVIII. No contrast marks. Silver catavinos in their color with smooth edges, handles in the shape of a crowned animal (rampant lions with their tails curved towards the back) and a decoration at the bottom of the piece of lines framing a simple flower. In Spanish silversmithing, Baroque trends were maintained during almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It would not be until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these innovations in Madrid, which would slowly spread to the rest of the centers, depending on areas and masters. This survival of the 17th century forms can be seen in the fact that bernegales tembladeras were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, remaining during the 18th century relegated to centers far from the main creative areas. Compare the present example with the one preserved in the Vivanco Foundation dated in the first third of the 18th century (inv. 002208), or colonial pieces from private collections (with figurative handles reminiscent of those of this piece) or preserved in prominent institutions such as the salvilla and bernegal set from the Monastery of the Conceptionists of Ágreda (Soria), specimens in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, etc. Weight: 110 gr

Peace holder. Bronze. Century XVI. Peace holder made of bronze with an asymmetrical “ese” handle on the back, which presents on the front a decoration in light relief framed in an architectural composition decorated with elements of classical influence (venera de finial, plant elements in the upper area, columns with shafts decorated, architrave, basement with semicircular arches...), which has a heraldic shield in the center of the lower area. Under a winged angel's head, the central theme of the peace holder is presented: Weeping 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, I Marquis of Santillana, and progenitor and head of the Ducal House of Infantado (which also presents it).
