SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA WITH JESUS, MALINAS. WOOD. MECHELEN, 16TH CENTU...

Saint Anthony with the Child Jesus. Wood. Mechelen School, 16th century. A carved wooden sculpture, worked, as was customary in that center, on the front because it was intended to be placed on an altar, depicting Saint Anthony of Padua with the Christ Child seated on a book, in one of the most common iconographies for this Franciscan saint. The influence of the Mechelen school is evident in the figures' features, the remnants of polychromy, and other aspects. The "poupées malinoises" or "Malines dolls" are small sculptures of saints made in the late 15th and early 16th centuries in the workshops of Mechelen (Flanders). They were known by these names because their faces resembled those of dolls or "poupins." They were sometimes also called "chop sculptures" because they were only finished on the front, being flat on the back, depending on the depth of the niche where they were to be placed. They were made for small domestic altarpieces—usually containing three statuettes or "dolls"—rectangular in shape, with painted wings or doors. Perhaps the best-known example is the altarpiece in the Mayer van den Bergh Museum in Antwerp.

SET OF TWO ORNAMENTAL MIRRORS. GILT WOOD. ROCCOCO, 18TH CENTURY.

Pair of cornucopias. Carved and gilded wood. 18th century. Pair of carved and gilded wooden cornucopias decorated with a fine molding on the inside and an elaborate composition of plant elements with scallop-like shapes on the outside, leaving empty spaces and with a marked asymmetry in both, tempered by carving both examples with the same decoration. These types of mirrors were only made for grand houses, as their primary purpose was to reflect the light from candles and lamps in these luxurious interiors, thus showcasing the wealth of their owners. The method of manufacturing mirrors from sheets of glass was discovered in Venice in the 16th century and remained a secret for about a century, until the role of mercury in the process became known in London and Paris, allowing for the widespread use of these materials. However, the use of cornucopias did not become widespread in Europe until the Rococo period, and their use and creation have continued ever since. From the beginning, and with the intention of displaying the owner's wealth and aiding in illumination, it was customary to gild them after they were carved. The movement of the pieces inside, where the mirror would have been, provides an initial clue to their artistic style. As for their decoration, the vegetal elements, the volutes, the curved forms contrasting with counter-curves, and the scallop-shell details clearly indicate that both pieces belong to the Rococo period, distinguishing them from both the more Neoclassical-influenced 18th-century examples and those of the 19th century. The asymmetry in the decoration of each cornucopia points to the beginnings of this style, since, over time, the contrasts characteristic of this artistic style were softened, resulting in more symmetrical compositions.

CABINET OR CUPBOARD OR TWO TIERED BUFFET. WALNUT. SPAIN, 18TH CENTURY.

Two-door wardrobe. Walnut wood. Spain, 18th century. A two-section wardrobe made of carved walnut wood features doors (two pairs, top and bottom) and drawers (four, arranged in pairs towards the center) and is slightly raised on disc-shaped legs. The upper section is finished with a series of moldings of varying widths (the widest with small fluted brackets, elements also present flanking the drawers); the doors (with simple marquetry in lighter wood) and drawers are also highlighted by similar moldings; the corners of the door areas are accentuated by Solomonic columns with plain capitals; below, above the legs, another, finer molding frame completes the piece. The sides feature simple recessed carvings that differentiate the various sections mentioned. The careful consideration of the composition and its details (and therefore the quality) is evident in the wood joints, in the care with which the elements are used (the door hinges are left out to add more decoration), etc. The presence of Solomonic columns and the delicate use of fluted corbels placed opposite each other to add a sense of movement demonstrate the Baroque influence on the cabinet. The overall lines of the piece correspond to a common composition in Spain (compare with wastepaper baskets, the 18th-century sacristy cabinet of Burgos Cathedral, etc.), and the wood is also the most common type used in Spanish cabinetmaking. Compare this piece with the architrave in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid (first half of the 17th century, note the corbels); the well-known paneled cabinets; pieces in the Louis XIII style (noting the usual differences); etc.

DESK. WOOD (PALO SANTO AND OTHERS), METAL. JEANSELME FILS GODIN ET CIE...

Bureau or desk. Rosewood, wood, metal. Jeanselme Fils Godin et Cie, Paris, France, 19th century. Stamped (with signature). This display desk, perhaps designed to be placed against a wall, features two drawers at the top and three below (the left side has two drawers; the right side has one with a lockable compartment, although it appears to have two from the outside to balance the piece's composition). Opening the lid reveals a writing surface with compartments towards the back of the unit. The exterior boasts delicate marquetry work, highlighting the rosewood, and carvings focused on specific areas (top finial, drawers, slightly cabriole legs, etc.) to enhance the piece's elegance and the quality of the woods used in its finish. The cabinetmaker's signature can be seen in areas not easily visible: "JEANSELME FILS GODIN ET CIE / EBENISTERIE, SIEGES ET TAPISSERIE / RUE DU HARLAY 7 & 9, AU MARAIS". Although this brand belongs to the prominent Jeanselme family (fl. 1824-1930), this particular mark was used on furniture between 1863 and 1871 according to some experts, after having been founded by Charles-Joseph-Marie Jeanselme in Paris in 1824 (Auguste Godin took over its management in 1871; after his retirement, the firm was known as A. Godin et Cie until 1883; upon Godin's death, the business continued with the founder's son, Charles-Henri Jeanselme, under the name Ch. Jeanselme et Cie until 1930). By the mid-19th century, the Jeanselme firm was one of the most renowned in Paris. Significant examples associated with this name can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, prominent residences, private collections, and elsewhere.
