Candlestick-shaped lamp, patinated bronze. Marble base. Without shade. A round base enhances the foot of the lamp: the circular base acts as a podium for a candlestick-shaped piece and is topped by a base for the light bulb; the difference in profiles between the two parts is unified by the green patina that has been given to the bronze. The classicist inspiration in the shapes of this work is noticeable, reminiscent of some Renaissance candelabras. Weight: 5.7 kg

Bronze table lamp in the shape of a rectangular cup. Without shade. A base on four legs formed by inward-turned volutes ensures the stability of the lamp, whose foot is shaped like a rectangular cup: a round base gives way to several concave sections separated by circular mouldings, after which comes the cup (with chamfered corners) and which ends in more concave mouldings. The movement that all this brings to the work makes it an interesting decorative element, as well as highlighting the material from which it has been created.

Lamp or chandelier. Gilt bronze. Possibly France, Napoleon III, 19th century. Gilt-bronze ceiling lamp featuring a central axis enhanced by three volute structures that run from the leafy crest at the top to the lower body, featuring a series of crowned female grotesques on architectural moldings with volutes. The radiant arms are arranged in tiers and decorated with plant and architectural elements, ending in saucers that give rise to garlanded lighters and classicist shapes and decorations, as is the case throughout the piece. Stylistically, the influence of models taken from Ancient Greece and Imperial Rome is clear, as is common in 19th-century neoclassical works. Note the laurel wreaths, volutes, vegetal scrolls, combinations with gadroon motifs, etc. The 19th-century taste can be seen, above all, in the aforementioned female grotesques, with their crowns and pearl necklaces from which hang a Greek cross. The quality of the lamp is remarkable, both in the bronze and the gilding (most likely mercury) and in its design. Compare, for example, with works by the renowned French firm Maison Mottheau et Fils, prized above all for its lamps (also for supplying high-quality bronzes to prominent cabinetmakers) and famous throughout the 19th century. Or with works by Henri Vian (1860-1905), another master highly regarded for his gilded bronzes. Weight: 85 kg

One has a printed textile on a light background and a light wooden handle finished with a silver metal knob shaped like a walking stick and decorated with flowers. The hallmarks on it identify it as being made of “nickel silver” or “German silver” (an alloy of zinc, copper and nickel also called alpaca). The other umbrella, with brown textile and a possibly wooden handle, and a spherical knob with flowers and spirals that is possibly silver in colour (it has no hallmarks).

Table. Walnut wood, iron. Spanish school, Guadalajara, 17th century. Table with a smooth rectangular top, four spheres under the four legs (these joined by chamfers that start from rectangular cubes, and carved with spherical elements accompanied by lentil or disk shapes), and a carved waist in the lower area of the front. In this part, there is also a drawer with a key lock, decorated with a carving of plant motifs divided into two rectangular areas; inside, a board creates two spaces. Note the dovetail joints. As this is one of the most common types of furniture in the Castilian school of all ancient Spanish furniture, it is possible to find similar examples in important private collections and in prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with some buffets in the Casa Museo Lope de Vega in Madrid (one with column legs is dated to the first half of the 17th century), or with some of those kept in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares in Madrid (in particular, one has a composition on the legs similar to that of the present one, the one in the museum dated to the 17th century and registered with inventory number CE00113).

Catavinos or quaking glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two curved flat handles decorated with simplified plant elements, and a line of mortise (gallon-shaped shapes) on the edge enhanced by bands of sunken dots that remain in relief on the inside of the piece, where they extend and frame the decoration on the bottom. In this area there is a flower, enhanced with a line of dots. Bernegales and mortise-shaped bernegales were frequent pieces in Spanish silverware in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. Compare with pieces such as the silver bernegal from the last third of the 17th century in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (perhaps from the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 from the same museum (inventory 3910), or the one by José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Quaking glass or wine-tasting glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two flat handles in the shape of a “C” topped by volutes and decorated with wavy elements on the outside, which has a decoration on the edge (on the outside) of simple plant elements alternating with simple geometric elements made with lines and dots. On the bottom, on the inside, there is a plant element. In Spanish silverwork, the Baroque trends were maintained for almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It was not until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these novelties in Madrid, which would slowly spread to the rest of the centres, depending on the areas and masters. This survival of the forms of the 17th century can be seen in the fact that bernegales tembladeras were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, remaining during the 18th century relegated to centres far from the main areas of creation.

Pastoral box. Carved horn, wood, metal. Spanish school, 1861. Submits registrations. Oval box made of antler carved in its colour, with wood on the lid to reinforce it, decorated on the outside with a series of engraved elements. On the base there is an animal or monster, on the lid there is a monstrance or ostensorium with a cross in the centre and a large base with geometric elements, surrounded by angular shapes acting as a frame. Under the antler hinge there is the date of the piece's creation (1861) and, between two bands of angular elements, an inscription (I am from francys / inverted d / a rhombus / poios), alluding to the owner (and possibly the craftsman) of the work. These types of boxes, of popular tradition, were common in ancient times and were usually made by shepherds or cattle breeders themselves to store snuff or tobacco.
