WALNUT BENCH. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY.

Bench. Walnut. Spanish school, 17th century. A bench made of carved walnut wood in its colour, with a backrest made up of a smooth rectangular board and a seat made up of another similar to the previous one, both arranged at an angle. The legs have a particular shape, known as “lyre-shaped”, and are decorated with plant and architectural motifs (scrolls) in relief. It also has two wooden “fasteners”, which have undulations in their profile. Lyre-leg tables originated in the Spain of Charles II, during the second half of the 17th century. The simplest ones have a simple cut in the side legs, and are even completely carved in models with peripheral centres. This support element, as can be seen, was also used in other types of furniture. The material is also the usual one in old Spanish cabinetmaking, although it should be noted that it seems that the most common thing is for the fasteners to be made of wrought iron.

PAIR OF CARVED WOOD BRACKETS. VENICE, 19TH CENTURY.

Pair of carved wooden corbels. Venice, 19th century. Pair of 19th century figurative corbels, carved in round wood, with a beautiful dark patina that enhances the relief and details of the sculptural work. They are signed on the back “Felici Venezia”. The lintels, with a moulded profile and a Baroque plan, with numerous recesses and projections, rise above two vegetal herms in the classical style, with the lower part in the form of a brace decorated with large acanthus leaves worked with a soft, gentle-looking carving, which moves away from the general classical inspiration to approach the naturalism of Art Nouveau. From these braces emerge the busts of two winged cupids, children's bodies carved in the round with grace and attention to detail, with a delicate dynamism. The two putti are represented in the same position, with one arm bent over their chest and the other raised above their head. They form a symmetrical composition, each a mirror image of the other. The high quality of the carving of these pieces is particularly appreciated in these figurative representations: the anatomical work is impeccable, as is the expressiveness of the faces, and the carving of the wings, hair and ribbons that adorn their torsos reflects meticulous, naturalistic and precious work in detail.

STONE LAUNDRY BASIN. 18TH CENTURY.

Wash basin. Stone. 18th century. A stone basin or tub with three of its walls straight inside and out and one of the smaller ones with an inward slope (a side used to wash clothes thanks to this shape). On the other side, towards the lower area, there is a hole for easier emptying. This type of piece was really common until the widespread introduction of washing machines and running water in homes, especially those in which there are no decorative elements, as is the case here. Also, being a completely utilitarian element, its shape and material hardly changed over the centuries.

VICTORIAN DRESSING TABLE. MAHOGANY, METAL, GLASS. ENGLAND, 19TH CENTUR...

The clean lines highlight the high-quality wood grain and reflect a long tradition in English furniture, which is generally characterized by fewer decorative elements than its French counterparts.

NAPOLEON III WRITING SLOPE OR BOX. MARQUETRY. FRANCE, 19TH CENTURY.

Napoleon III box. Marquetry. France, 19th century. Rectangular wooden box with a flat lid and supported by circular legs, with a front opening with a locking key and a hinged, folding top lid. Inside, there is a horizontal, flat space with edges highlighted with two lines of light marquetry (as is the lower area of the lid and the inside of the folding part of the front), and three drawers beneath it, also highlighted with light details. These types of pieces were used to hold different items (writing materials, jewellery, documents, etc.) either during travel or to be placed on a table and used there. The exterior decoration, centred on the front and top, consists of delicate compositions with a plant theme and a strong classicist influence made with wood of different tones: shields, flowers, scrolls, cartouches, leaves, etc. The sides of the box are highlighted only with lines of wood in a lighter tone. In general, the decorative elements, arranged with harmony and symmetry in various tones and light colours (rosewood, fruit, etc.), are sought to stand out against the dark tone of the rosewood. These types of boxes or chests were very common throughout the 19th century in Europe. During the time of Napoleon III (emperor from 1852 to 1870), they were usually decorated with both Boulle-style marquetry and wood, with works from houses such as the Maison Berthet & Peret standing out (a work preserved in private collections).

WATERCOLOUR. LANDSCAPE BY CIRILO MARTINEZ NOVILLO

MARTINEZ NOVILLO, Cirilo (Madrid, 1921 - 2008). “Landscape”, 1972. Watercolor. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Cirilo Martínez Novillo is one of the most prominent representatives of the so-called Madrid School, where he began his training at the School of Arts and Trades. During the Civil War he entered the Escuela Superior de Pintura and attended the studio of Daniel Vázquez Díaz, who became his teacher and supported him throughout his career. In 1946 he presented his work for the first time, as part of a collective exhibition held at the Bucholz gallery in Madrid. The following year he held his first solo exhibition at this same gallery. In 1948 he held an exhibition in the print room of the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid. Critics began to take note of his work and he was selected to participate in the exhibition “Arte Español”, held in Buenos Aires and organized by the Ministry of Education. From this moment on he held exhibitions in various Spanish cities and in France, and participated in collective exhibitions such as the Venice Biennial (1950) or the Salón de los Once (1951). Between 1952 and 1953 he travelled to Paris on three occasions thanks to various scholarships. His mature period began with a new visit to Paris at the beginning of the sixties, and then he travelled to Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belgium, where he won several medals at the National Fine Arts Exhibitions, as well as the Painting Prize at the Hispano-American Biennial in Cuba. Cirilo Martínez Novillo is represented at the Reina Sofía Museum, the Mapfre, AENA, Gaya Nuño and Santander Central Hispano Foundations, the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Oviedo, the Argentaria, Caja España and Telefónica collections and the Valdepeñas Museum.

FRAME, POLYCHROMED AND GILT WOOD. 18TH CENTURY.

Polychrome and gilded wood frame. Late 18th century. Rectangular frame with golden rocailles on a red background and elements related to the Passion of Christ in shields in the corners and centre of the longer sides: dice, nails, bag (with Judas' coins), mallet and tongs, cross with lances and two whips. These motifs clearly show that it was made to highlight a religious painting of the Passion, probably in a private chapel given the lack of relief, and the strong relationship of the work with the Rococo.
