Chest from the 18th century. Carved and gilded wood. Chest from the 18th century with a still clearly Baroque structure, with a wavy profile with bulges in elevation, but already decorated with Rococo details, even organized in an asymmetrical composition unthinkable in the Baroque. It has a chest structure, with cut skirts, volute feet curled inwards (still baroque, in Rococo they will curl outwards) and a vaulted lid. The decoration is carved in bas-relief, the different motifs highlighted on a nuanced, irregular background, which enhances its relief. This type of work is inspired by silversmithing, a decorative resource widely used in baroque silversmithing, precisely to reinforce the three-dimensional impression of the motifs worked in very low relief. Although these motifs are rigorously organized in boxes, in the Baroque manner, they are now clearly Rococo. Thus, on the front of the base we see a totally asymmetrical composition, composed of rockery crests, “S” braces and plant details, perfectly framed within the Rococo style. On the sides we see similar motifs that, although simpler, respect the compositional asymmetry that is a hallmark of full Rococo. The lid also presents rich Rococo ornamentation, in this case worked with a less obvious asymmetry.

Finish in carved, polychrome and gilded wood, 18th century. Painted finish imitating marble decorated with scrolls and carved and gilded plant motifs on its front surface. It would be part of a larger work such as an altarpiece, and the quality of its work and its polychrome stand out. The volume of the carving and the movement that its curves provide relate this finish to the Baroque, recalling in some details the Rococo.

Lectern. Mexico, Around 1700 Carved and gilded wood. Mexican baroque lectern entirely made of carved and gilded wood. It has a prismatic shape, with the front inclined to facilitate the support of the book. Halfway up the front there is a flat corbel with a molded perimeter, like a cornice, on which is placed an oval recess that forms the center of the body of a double-headed eagle, the main motif of the decoration. The eagle appears from the front, with its wings folded and its legs resting on the volutes formed by the tail on the sides, with the two heads in profile forming a rigorously symmetrical composition, typical of the classicist baroque. Between the two heads is a crenellated crown, supported in its center by a flowering stem. On the sides, openwork like the front, we see the only element that tells us that we are looking at a piece from the 18th century, although still fully baroque. This is the rockery created in the Rococo period, in the first half of the 18th century, an ornamental element that will be widely used since then and consists of an abstract crest that evokes in its texture and lines the exterior of a shell.

Pyx. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 16th century. Box with a circular base and truncated conical body that has a domed lid topped with a molded knob. It is made of carved wood and retains traces of gilding on its exterior surface and also on the interior (lid and base). In this area it is decorated with plant-themed carvings on the lid and winged angel heads joined by curved textiles reminiscent of garlands on the front of the body. Typologically, the piece is reminiscent of silver pyxes in its shape: compare with two examples from the 16th century in the Museum of Burgos (one with a flatter body than the present piece, but with a similarly shaped lid; another similar to this one). , a pyx from around the middle of the 14th century from the Cluny Museum with similar proportions to this wooden box, etc. Likewise, it would be necessary to mention at least the one known as Salero de San Fernando (Convent of San Clemente in Seville). Pyxes or hosts made of wood are not common, either because the use of metals is preferred for these liturgical objects, or because they are less well preserved or replaced more frequently than silver ones. One is known from the 16th century from the Balkans or Venetian, preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; There is a wooden pyx case in the same museum dated between 1470 and 1540; etc

Collection of keys with padlock. Wrought iron, 17th to 19th centuries. Collection consisting of thirty-two keys and a padlock with its key, all made of wrought iron, with some pieces retaining their original patina. By the variety of decoration on the rings and teeth and shape of the blades, you can distinguish which era they belong to. It is essential to highlight the great variety and different chronology of the elements that make up this set. There are several keys that, due to the shape of their ring, can be dated to the Baroque (some whose ring has a circle or teardrop inscribed on the opposite side of the bit, which ends in the extension of the stem). Those with the simplest ring (large key) usually correspond to the 19th century, more focused on the utilitarian purpose of the object without stopping to give them a decorative touch as is done in the previous examples. Note the presence of double keys (with bits at both ends and a piece to open the door or whatever they close) and that there are some with interesting elements on their rings.

Perfume case. Silver, tortoiseshell, glass, textile. Century XVIII. Case with an elongated shape, wider towards the lid, made of tortoiseshell with a silver frame in its color that has a closure towards one end operated by a button and a hinged lid. Inside, it has a textile upholstery on the lid and base, decorated in certain points with silver plant elements in its color, and an elongated translucent glass bottle. On the outside, it shows a series of plant and architectural elements of classicist influence but organized with a certain rococo rhythm in some points. The practice of using tortoiseshell plates in furniture and other luxury items reemerged in Europe during the 17th century. The high price and great demand for sea turtle shell furniture are explained by the scarcity of the material, which had to be imported (normally from Central America) and that, for its work, a highly specialized workforce was required. Thus, from that moment on, it was common to create boxes, vanity sets, cases with different uses, etc. in tortoise shell, normally combining it with frames in silver, gold, etc.

Pair of vases. Gilded bronze, veined marble. France, late 19th century Pair of centerpieces or vases that have an oval body carved in veined marble in pink tones (of a type very similar to one that was highly appreciated and often used in French school works during the Rococo of the 18th century) and some gilded marble highlights, creating a kind of tripod to hold and enhance the stone pieces. These are decorated with lion's claws on the legs, simple architectural moldings, flowers and female masks with plant elements, as well as a border that extends towards the interior area of the pieces creating three wings or handles, decorated with plant elements and architectural elements (volutes, flowers, bows, leaves, etc.) both outside and inside this area, leaving what would be the internal area of the marble pieces smooth. The classicist inspiration of the decorative elements of the couple is common in works of the French school since the 18th century. Some details (for example, the claws serving as finials on the legs) are seen in Louis XIV style centerpieces dated to that century, while other elements are more often seen in Louis XVI style works (one of the main elements of the Neoclassical style). There is knowledge of a pair of centerpieces very similar to these vases and a single piece (also a centerpiece) preserved in a private collection in the United States of America. Weight: 7.25kg.
