Washbasin with basin in carved marble. A circular mirror presides over the front of the basin, flanked by two palm branches and placed above three cherub heads.

Pair of table legs in carved travertine. Both are identical, and have been decorated with symmetrically arranged fleshy leaves, which are more reminiscent of tropical examples than of classically inspired acanthus. The prominence of the natural element in the work is close to aesthetic approaches that appeared in art from the 19th century onwards. Travertine or travertine marble is a sedimentary rock widely used for interior and exterior decoration since the Roman Empire.

Double-cup fountain in height. Carved marble. A circular, fluted base is placed on a pedestal, on which the largest bowl of the fountain rests, decorated, like the smaller one, with simplified volutes. Between them, a vase has a scalloped lower half and a smooth upper half. The top shows a large, fluted pearl. Although the fountain is an element that was already used in Babylonian gardens, the present work is more closely related to Baroque models due to its structure and to more contemporary ones due to its lines.

Abstraction. Marble sculpture. Abstract sculpture is non-figurative, based on three-dimensionality and supported by texture and geometric shapes, with colour as the protagonist at times. In this example, although it may remind us of a figurative motif, the protagonists are the curve, the circular shape and the chosen material. Weight 100 kg.

Pair of sphinxes in travertine marble. Although this mythological winged animal with a lion's body and a female head is found in ancient Egyptian art, the idealization, proportions and lines of the sculptures relate them much more to neoclassical examples of 19th century Europe, especially since Napoleon's campaigns on the banks of the Nile River.

Oval carved white marble plaque. “Children from the procession of Dionysus”. The three children are seated on a meadow. One holds a branch with bunches of grapes and vine leaves; the second puts an arm around his shoulder and holds a cup; the third joins his hands while looking at his companions. Because of the objects they carry, they can be related to the procession that accompanies the god Dionysus, also known as Bacchus. This type of theme, taken from classical mythology but not belonging to the main themes, was widely used in art from the 18th century onwards, especially.

Marble sculpture inspired by the characteristic portrait busts of the Roman Empire. It is in the portrait that Rome makes its most characteristic contribution to the tradition founded by the Greeks, a contribution that matured much earlier than in other types of sculpture and which caused the development of sculpture in Rome to be divided into two fields, with different patterns of evolution, the portrait and the other types. From the time of the Republic, the portrait was highly valued and over time it oscillated cyclically between an idealizing classicist tendency and another of great realism, derived in part from the typical expressiveness of Hellenistic art. And among the portraits, the bust and the head were the most frequent forms. Full-length portraits were less common, although not rare. The preference for the bust and the head is a typical Roman cultural trait that created an enormous market throughout the Mediterranean basin, and is explained firstly by economic reasons, being much cheaper than a complete statue, but also by the conviction of a better individual identification that prevailed among them. For the Romans, it was the head and not the body or the clothes or accessories that were the central attributes of interest in the portrait.

Table top. Marbles. Circular table top made of marble of different shades, forming a symmetrical composition with a geometric theme and a certain classical touch. It is possible to speak of a certain influence of 19th century models in the decoration, while the material is reminiscent of older Italian “pietra dura” works.

Table top. Marble. Following ancient models. Circular table top made of marble with applications of marbles of other colours that presents a geometric design similar to a compass rose, with an eight-pointed star serving as a frame for a smaller one. The technique is very similar to inlay, but uses marbles and hard stones (more than 7 on the Mohs scale) to make these designs. Desks, boards and other objects were made with “hard stone work”. Usually, lapis lazuli was used together with Belgian marble as a background, accompanied by jade, chalcedony, etc. The price of the material and that of the specialized labor raised the cost of this type of works of art so much that its recipients were only the main houses and courts of the time, so today they are only preserved in prominent private collections and in important museums.

This type of work, inspired by classical art, was widely used in the decoration of ancient gardens since the Renaissance.

Cup on column in black marble Both the profiles of the cup and the column, very similar to the Doric order, show a marked influence of examples from classical antiquity, more of the Roman order due to its freedom in combining certain elements and proportions than of the Greek order, which was more rigid with architectural norms. This type of work was widely used since the Renaissance in the decoration of the interiors of palaces and outstanding gardens.

Marble bust of “Louis XIV”. Veined marble. 20th century. Marble bust of a knight, dressed in armour and wearing a long curly wig. The idealisation, his clothing and his posture are reminiscent of examples of busts made in the court of Louis XIV (1710-1774) by artists such as Antoine Coysevox, Jean-Antoine Houdon, Warin, etc. Despite the artist's mastery reflecting a certain degree of individuality in the face, it is not possible to identify him due to the lack of elements that allow it, an intentional detail that does not detract from the work.
