Reference: ZF1436
Capitals with bases, four units. Bronze. Spanish school, 20th century. Origin: Caryatids Building (former Spanish Bank of the River Plate; headquarters of the Cervantes Institute), Calle Alcalá, number 49 in Madrid (Spain). Four capitals with their respective bases, made of bronze, show a clear classical influence in their moldings, lines, and decorative elements. However, the arrangement of these motifs and other details reveals an evolution or departure from these 19th-century classical models (volutes, stepped elements, etc.). They come from a building located at Calle Alcalá, number 49, in the city of Madrid (Spain), known as the Edificio de las Cariátides (Building of the Caryatids), which was built as the headquarters for the Banco Español del Río de la Plata by Antonio Palacios Ramilo and Joaquín Otamendi between 1911 and 1918. It was expanded and renovated between 1944 and 1953 (architect Manuel Cabanyes), and has been the headquarters of the Instituto Cervantes since 2006. Weight: 534 kg. Price per unit
