THREE METAL JARDINIERE. 20TH CENTURY.

Three planters. Gilded metal. 20th century. A set of three planters made of gilded metal, two of them corner planters, with flat legs adorned with hanging rings, metal frames, and clean lines on the upper section, combining flat and curved moldings (all smooth). Their simplicity, lines, and some of the decorative elements are reminiscent of certain European artistic movements from the first half of the 20th century.

EXTENDING TABLE (7 Meters ). MAHOGANY, METAL, ETC. ENGLAND, CIRCA 1930...

Extendable table (6 meters). Mahogany wood, metal, leather, etc. England, circa 1930. Rectangular mahogany wood table carved with rectangles of another material in green (leather) edged in gold on the top, which has eight legs ending in rollers and a "worm screw" system under the tabletop that allows its extension up to six meters thanks to a manual action crank that attaches to one of the smaller sides of the piece. The paw motif is quite common in 18th-century English examples (a type known as "claw and ball" with a cabriole paw, a form that, although more of a French tradition, spread rapidly throughout Europe). The leading theory among experts is that it is a design derived from Chinese art (a dragon's claw grasping a pearl or similar object) and that it reached the West through the trade of porcelain, silk, etc., first appearing in English silverware and, from there, spreading to other art forms. English cabinetmakers are credited with transforming the dragon's claw into a lion's paw, the animal symbolizing English authority. Thus, the "claw and ball" motif was popular in England between approximately 1710 and 1750 (later reappearing as past styles came back into fashion), with variations in shape and lines (shape of the claw, details of the nails and "fingers," proportion between the sphere and the limb, etc.) depending on the region where this decorative element was used. The decoration present towards the waist of the furniture and on the edge of the upper board, in slight relief and leaving the wood in its color, is of architectural and vegetal theme and shows an influence of ancient classical models (Greek and Roman) both in its motifs and in the composition (symmetry in the sides of the furniture, harmony, etc.). Regarding the fabric upholstery on the tabletop, this is more common on conference tables, desks, or gaming tables than on dining tables (which typically have wooden tops), although this detail doesn't preclude any function for the latter. It's also worth noting the preservation of the leg casters, an element that was often removed or lost with use and the passage of time. Closed: 160x300 cm Extended 160x700x86 cm.

CONSOLE. WOOD, MARBLE. 18TH CENTURY.

Console table. Carved and gilded wood, marble. 18th century. This console table, crafted from carved and gilded wood on the front and sides, features a top panel carved with curves and counter-curves in veined red marble. The legs, finished in straight, hooved shapes, and the waistline of the piece are adorned with carved vegetal motifs clearly influenced by the Rococo style. Note the openwork center on the front, decorated with roses, scrolls, and other designs, and a thin band running along the waistline, just below the tabletop, featuring delicately raised vegetal elements. These types of consoles are often called "side tables" because they are designed to be placed against a wall (hence the lack of gilding and carving on the back). The marble top is reminiscent of the Italian "Rosso antico," but it has enough differences to suggest another type of marble or veined red jasper (Alicante red marble, Rouge Incarnat or Rosso de France or Languedoc, Rosso Verona, etc.) frequently used in the furniture of various European schools in the 18th century, following the rise of interest in the Natural Sciences. Stylistically, both in terms of the waistline and tabletop, as well as the elements of the rest of the piece and the material, it can be linked to 18th-century European works, showing similarities with Spanish, Italian, and, to a lesser extent, French pieces. Compare it with a mid-18th-century console table in the Italian Embassy in Berlin, Germany (national catalog code 1201273839; inventory number 898-899); with a pair attributed to François Rournier (1735-40; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, inventory 1972.284.4); etc.

TABLE. WOOD, IRON. GUADALARA AREA, SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Table. Wood, iron. Guadalajara area, Spain, 17th century. It has faults. A walnut wood table, carved in its natural color, with a one-piece, straight top that projects at the sides and is secured with two wooden supports (visible from the front and back). It features a drawer with a wooden knob and lock, decorated with two carved diamonds on the front, reminiscent of paneling. The legs, joined in pairs at their lower ends (cubes) with a turned "disc" design, a technique known as "lentil turning" due to its shape. This table belongs to one of the most common typologies in the Castilian school of all antique Spanish furniture, which is why it is relatively common to find similar examples in important private collections and prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with the so-called "Inquisition Desk" from around 1600, which is in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, or with several 17th-century sideboards in the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid) and the Lope de Vega House Museum (Madrid).

MIRROR. GILT AND POLYCHROMED WOOD. 18TH CENTURY.

Mirror. Carved, gilded and polychrome wood; 18th century. It has faults. Rectangular mirror with carved and gilded wooden frame composed of smooth, straight moldings on the inside, decorated with finely engraved plant elements, and a series of varied carved and openwork details (volutes, rocaille, shapes resembling leaves, roses, other flowers, etc.) on the outside following a symmetrical composition in volume but asymmetrical in the elements arranged, and among which three small monsters stand out (two on the sides at the top and one at the bottom) in polychrome wood. Rococo is a style that originated in France, where it flourished primarily between 1730 and 1760. As expected, it quickly spread throughout Europe, its influence varying depending on the country. Characterized by curves, asymmetry, and the presence of rocaille, it was widely used in the decorative arts and furniture. This particular example is a fine illustration of the style and its main characteristics. Furthermore, the presence of the polychrome monsters (the two on either side reminiscent of, but not copied from, classical fish and dolphins, and the lower animal with gilded forms resembling wings on its back) is uncommon in this type of work and could indicate its origin in the Spanish school. In this case, it would be a notable example, given that the Spanish school was not known for its intense Rococo style, unlike the one displayed on this mirror.

WALNUT AND IRON CUPBOARD. NAVARRA, SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Panelled cabinet. Oak wood, iron. Navarre, 17th century. It has some defects. It comes with three keys. This is a single-piece piece of furniture, not two parts, made of walnut wood. It consists of a lower section with two doors opening into a single compartment containing a shelf and two drawers with simple handles and lock escutcheons, and a slightly recessed upper section with two doors opening into another single compartment. The exterior is decorated with rectangular panels carved with simple geometric shapes (diamonds on the doors, curved shapes and bands on the drawers, and simple panels on the sides). Stylistically, it is reminiscent of typical forms of 16th-century Spanish Renaissance cabinetmaking, both in its composition and its paneled decoration. Compare it, for example, with a sideboard from Guipúzcoa in the Núria Pla Collection, dated between 1670 and 1700; with the 17th-century alcove (upper section with lattice doors) made of walnut, pine, and iron, now in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid; or with the 17th-century alcove with turned balusters in the Cervantes House Museum in Valladolid.

”BARGUEÑO”. TORTOISESHELL, WALNUT, ROSE WOOD, WROUGHT IRON. 17TH CENTU...

Bargueño. Tortoiseshell, rosewood, walnut, gilt bronze, wrought iron. 17th and 20th centuries (table). A display desk made of wood, with a projecting central section featuring an architecturally composed chapel-like structure and an upper level dominated by a lobed piece. Each side has four drawers with tortoiseshell fronts and an elaborate gilt bronze keyhole escutcheon (two grotesques flanking vegetal motifs towards the center and two mascarons above and below the keyhole). The central front has two levels: the lower level features four columns, two on each side, with a series of gilt metal elements in the center, among which, sheltered under a splayed semicircular arch and crafted in gilt bronze, stands out the figure of Minerva (the Roman goddess associated with intelligence and closely linked to the Greek Athena; she was also associated with wisdom, warfare as a tactical concept, weaving, etc.), showing a marked Italian influence; the upper level features moldings forming recessed panels, with a quatrefoil piece in the center highlighted by a gilt bronze garland. The finial consists of an openwork gilt bronze "railing" alternating with tortoiseshell pieces, topped with birds on spheres, and in the center, an architectural composition that echoes the lower section of the piece (a central space with a semicircular arch featuring a sculpture of Minerva, columns, grotesques, etc.). It rests on spheres with gilt claws. Opening the central niche reveals five drawers, each with two molded tortoiseshell rectangles in the center and small gilt bronze rings with decorations. The general scheme of the furniture corresponds to a model that was widespread and valued in 17th century Europe, of which the best examples have generally been those of Italian manufacture, and which continued into the 18th century without breaking the compositional clarity that is usually seen in its fronts but changing slight decorative details and elements in the area of the central chapel, above all. The table on which it rests, inspired by antique models, was made in the 20th century. The practice of using tortoiseshell in furniture resurfaced in Europe during the 17th century. The high price and demand for furniture made with sea turtle shells can be explained by the scarcity of the material, which had to be imported (usually from Central America), and the fact that its production required highly skilled labor. As is typical for this type of furniture, also called "paper cabinets" because they contained important documents, tortoiseshell inlays were often adorned with gilded metal decorations, with bronze being a common material for this purpose.

ITALIAN CHEST. WOOD, MARQUETRY, IRON. ITALIAN SCHOOL, 16TH CENTURY.

Chest. Wood, iron, marquetry. Italian school, 16th century. It has faults. A rectangular chest with a flat lid, carved from wood and decorated on the exterior with wrought iron elements. The front features wavy lines along the lower and side edges, with three openwork circles of vegetal motifs from which hang heart-shaped metal forms. Four smaller, similar circles surround the lock, whose shield is shaped like a building with a tower. The sides display more wavy lines (of the aforementioned motifs) and openwork circles, as well as handles. The metal handles on the sides extend to the back of the chest. Inside, the lid shows more of these openwork metal circles with a red background and traces of simple marquetry with geometric motifs. Small stars are carved along the edges of the chest. Stylistically, it is reminiscent of examples from the 16th and 17th centuries common in areas of Lombardy, although it is a type that some experts consider relatively common throughout the Italian school until the popularization of the more characteristic models of the Renaissance. Examples with details in common with this chest are held by institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, or the Vittoriano e Palazzo Venezia (VIVE, Rome; inventory 1135, Lombard “cassone” from the late 15th-early 16th century in walnut, metal and wood, located in the Palazzo Venezia).

IRON SAFE. POSSIBLY GERMANY, 18TH CENTURY.

Regimental strongbox. Iron. Possibly Germany, 18th century. It has faults. A rectangular safe with a flat lid containing the upper locking mechanism (which has a simple mechanism to cover the keyhole; this was usually concealed by a decorated cover not visible here), and handles on the sides. It also features two flat elements and two half-rings on the front, presumably used for padlocks. This would require three different keys to access the safe, protecting against theft and suggesting its use by an organization. Note also the carved decoration of the lid with simple geometric shapes and the yellow polychrome finish. In the center of the front, remnants of a heraldic shield can be seen. The most prominent feature of this heraldic shield is a double-headed eagle with a closed crown on top and a heraldic shield with various elements in the center of its body. This eagle was used by the Holy Roman Emperor between approximately 1433 and 1806, among others. It was also used by the Austrian Empire (whose coat of arms was created in 1815, after the Congress of Vienna). Weight: 70 kg.

It was succeeded by the Directoire style. It is characterized by its influences from Ancient Rome and Enlightenment thought. In the French school, the style exhibiting Rococo influences is known as Louis XV, and it also inspired works in the 19th century, which are given the same name.

A dressing table with a mirror topped by a crest and two gilt bronze pinecones, flanked by two shelves on each side with railings, features a veined marble top (also present on the shelves) and a front with three drawers in the upper section, two central doors (containing shelves inside pull-out wooden trays), and four small lockable drawers flanking them. On either side of this lower section are two columns with a strong classical influence, enhanced with gilt bronze elements. The piece stands on four legs. The back displays prints related to the manufacturer. The Louis XVI style is considered, in France, a current within Neoclassicism and spans from around 1760 to approximately 1789 (although works inspired by it were created in the 19th century), and was succeeded by the Directoire style. It is characterized by its influences from Ancient Rome and Enlightenment thought. The firm known as Guéret Frères (Denis-Désiré and Onésime) was established in Paris around 1853 and, from 1867, was known as Guéret Jeune et Cie., active until the 1880s. They exhibited their work at the International Exhibitions of 1855 (First Class Medal), 1867, and 1878, specializing in Louis XV and XVI style furniture, but also producing works inspired by other antique styles.

Chest of drawers. Carved wood. 16th century. Restorations. A chest of drawers with a carved wooden front in its natural color features two drawers with metal handles and lock escutcheons above two doors with similar handles and locks, and a carved top. The figurative elements (male and female busts) appear within plain tondos, with simple geometric elements defining the rectangular areas they occupy. The sides have simpler carvings based on plain moldings, and the lower section displays a wave-like pattern. This type of figurative bust is very common in the European Renaissance (compare, for example, Calderón's Plateresque carvings made in 1524 in the choir of Sigüenza Cathedral, 16th-century Portuguese writing desks, the sides of the Azay-le-Rideau chest in the Louvre Museum in Paris, etc.), with the surrounding elements typically varying within tondos. The shape of the piece of furniture is also noteworthy, as it is not entirely typical of the Spanish school of the period.
