Writing desk with three inkwells. Silver. Real Fábrica de Platerías Martínez, Madrid, 1845. With contrast markings. Silver notary in its color composed of a rectangular tray with raised and openwork sides and openwork decoration on the longer sides (down), and three containers (two cup-shaped) topped by figurative elements. Both the decoration of the elements and their lines show a clear influence of Neoclassical models based on Antiquity. The contrast marks present link the piece with the city of Madrid (Spain), also adding the date and the silversmith. The Royal Silver Factory of Martínez was founded in 1778, and marked the introduction in Spain of the industrial manufacturing method in the field of silver work and of neoclassical aesthetics in Spanish silversmithing. Likewise, it was one of the most important silversmithing centers in the history of Spain, and was characterized by the originality of its designs and the perfect finish of its pieces. Compare the present piece, for example, with the mancerina with tray and acanthus leaves from the same factory dated 1834 in the History Museum of Madrid, and with other works preserved in private collections. Weight: 490 grams.

Pair of spout jugs. Silver. BENITO GÓMEZ, Antonio (1775-1835). Segovia, Spain, 1801-1835. With contrast markings. Pair of spout jugs with a circular base with moldings, a low conical foot and a tubular body finished in a semisphere in the lower area and with a flat molding in the upper part; The handle, in double shape, has a simple volute or branch that rests towards the mouth of the piece; The beak shows a simple decoration. Typologically, the present pair is linked to a type of spout jug that, with variations, is common in Hispanic domestic silverware from the first half of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century, and is also found after this date. As usual, the civil model was quickly assimilated by religious silverware, especially for use in liturgical cruets. Antonio Benito Gómez (1775-1835) was a silversmith who worked in Segovia, at least, from 1801 until he died, also being a marker of carved silver between 1824 and 1828, and between 1831 and 1835. Son of the silversmith Juan de la Cruz Benito , several works by his hand have been preserved: baptismal shell and rostrillo for the church of Vera Cruz in Zamarramala, a hyssop found in the church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores in La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia), etc. Stylistically, most of his known work is clearly reminiscent of Rococo, although some Neoclassical pieces stand out.

Crucified Christ. Ivory, ebony wood. Possibly French school, 19th century. Christ crucified with three nails, Crown of Thorns with several intertwined branches and purity cloth with string, which is fixed to a Latin-type cross made of wood and with no other decorations than the INRI cartouche (JESUS NAZARENUS REX JUDAERUM, Jesus Nazarene King of the Jews) located above the head of Jesus. Note that there is no sore on the side. The entire piece is carved in ivory, and the nails mentioned (two in the hands, one for the feet) are made of metal. The piece presents similarities with works from the French school of the 19th century. Although it resembles in only some details (general posture, hands) carvings by Desirée Manceau (act. Paris late 19th century - early 20th century), it is necessary to highlight its greater resemblance to ivory crucifixes from A. Leroy's workshop in Brussels preserved in private collections (purity cloth, posture, absence of notable wounds, etc.).

Crucified Christ. Polychrome wood. Flemish school, Mechelen, 16th century. It has faults. Polychrome wood carving that shows the deceased Christ (eyes closed and head fallen) on the cross, with a small, golden purity cloth that reveals an anatomy already with a clear classicist influence, as is common in Renaissance carvings throughout Europe . The face and hair and their pictorialism, the movement of the perizonium and the presence of three nails instead of four also correspond to the period. There are known works produced in Mechelen that, perhaps, were intended to form an iconography known as Déesis. These would be carvings of the Virgin and Saint John, which would flank a Crucified in a very common iconography of the time. Some Crucifieds have also been preserved whose group, in principle, would not be known. Compare the present example with the Christ from the so-called “Jardin clos du Calvaire” of the Hof van Busleyden Museum (inv. GHZ BH0003), or that of the Museum of Fine Arts of Arras (inv. 945.3.45), both linked to Master Cornelis . Weight: 200 grams.

"Satyr". Patinated terracotta. Following models of CLODION, Claude Michel (France, 1738-1814). Late 19th-early 20th century. Patinated terracotta sculpture consisting of an oval base decorated with simple architectural elements of classical influence and a tondo with a bust enhanced with a garland, and two figures. These, lying on top, are a satyr (with his usual goat legs) lifting a bunch of grapes, and a young nymph, who hugs him while he tries to reach these fruits. Compare the present sculpture (not so much the base) with the one titled “Nymph and Satyr” from the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon (Portugal), related to the sculptor Claude Michel, highlighting the similarities and differences. Pieces similar to the present work, also known as “Satyr feeding grapes to a nymph”, are preserved in several private collections. Claude Michel “Clodion” (1730-1814) was a French sculptor who trained with Lambert Sigisbert Adam and Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, recognized with numerous awards (Prize of Rome in 1762, etc.) who had an important workshop in Paris from 1771 Although he also made large-scale works, he is above all known for his small-format sculptural works, made in bronze (or other materials such as calamine or terracotta, for example), and which had a very important influence on both life of the sculptor as long after his death in a large number of works inspired by his creations.
