Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, stucco, etc. Mexican school, 17th century. No contrast markings. It has flaws. Mirror with a slightly rectangular frame made of wood with polychrome areas and a repoussé silver plating over stucco, enhanced with enamel cabochons featuring geometric elements in dark and light blue. The front features a series of plain moldings, one of which bears the aforementioned polychromy. The silver band extends around the exterior of the piece, with exposed wood at the corners and plain silver bands (two on each side), and a somewhat three-dimensional decoration combining architectural elements of clear classical influence (in the center of which are the enamel cabochons), flanked in the longer areas by compositions with scrolls, volutes, plant motifs, and fruit. Stylistically speaking, the work can be linked to pieces using the same technique produced in Mexico, primarily reliquaries. Also, as is common due to the influence of the Iberian Peninsula, one might recall works such as the 17th-century Holy Thursday Reliquary from Barbastro. Weight: 5.7 kg.

Miniature friar's chair. Wood, leather, metal. Spanish school, 19th century. A high-backed armchair of the type known as a "frailero" (a type of Spanish chair), featuring stretchers on the legs connecting the front and rear, and a central stretcher or beam at the front with carved vegetal and architectural motifs. The legs display vegetal carving that extends onto the arms, forming volutes on the front. The backrest and seat are upholstered in leather (the backrest embossed with vegetal motifs), and adorned with metal studs and fabric fringe. Originally of Italian origin, the "frailero" became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture after its introduction in the 16th century, remaining characteristic of that century and the 17th, and experiencing a revival in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Because it was such a deeply rooted tradition in Spain, this type of chair continued to be produced throughout the centuries.

Lamp. Bronze. 19th century. This lamp features a circular vase decorated with a series of classical moldings at the bottom and an oval shape from which a ring hangs. Another molding at the top joins three winged angel heads. From the back of these heads emerge three chains of polygonal links connected by a piece decorated with palms and scrolls, which terminates in a ring for hanging from the ceiling. Sometimes known as votive lamps due to their frequent presence in churches, these lamps were often considered noteworthy.

The two lyre-shaped legs supporting the piece feature undulating lines at the bottom and shapes on the sides reminiscent of French cabriolet guitars. They are joined by an iron brace and support a single-piece tabletop with carved edges. This type of leg, called lyre-shaped because of its resemblance to the musical instrument, was widely used in the Renaissance, and its use continued later due to the movement that its curved profiles brought to the furniture.

Bench. Walnut. Spanish school, 17th century. A walnut wood bench, carved in its natural color, with a backrest formed by a smooth rectangular panel and a seat made of a similar panel, both positioned at an angle. The legs have a distinctive lyre shape and are decorated with raised vegetal and architectural motifs (volutes). It also features two wooden braces with undulating profiles. Lyre-leg tables originated in Spain during the reign of Charles II, in the second half of the 17th century. The simplest versions feature a simple cutout on the side legs, while models with peripheral centers are completely carved. This supporting element, as can be seen, was also used in other types of furniture. The material is also typical of old Spanish cabinetmaking, although it should be noted that the most common practice, it seems, was for the braces to be made of wrought iron.

Table with fork braces. Walnut wood, wrought iron. Spain, 17th century. Table made of carved and turned walnut wood with four A-frame legs, two wrought iron hairpin bends, and drawers on both sides (four in total) decorated with plant-themed carvings. The legs feature a type of turning known as "lentil-shaped," with different types of discs depending on their width, creating a symmetrical composition, and positioned above and below a simple cylindrical base. The stretchers are carved with simplified plant forms, and the bends are decorated with discs and baluster-like shapes. The drawers are interspersed with projecting "S"-shaped pieces and have oval handles, while the sides feature simple geometric carvings. Compare, for example, with the walnut table with discs on the legs dating from the 17th century that is preserved in the collections of the former Municipal Museum of Madrid; with the Inquisition desk of the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid (in details such as the arrangement of the drawers); or with another dais table in walnut and pine wood with carved drawers and lenticular turned legs from the same museum, dating from the 17th century; a Castilian buffet table from the 17th century from the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid).
