Table. Walnut wood, iron. Spanish school, Guadalajara, 17th century. Table with a plain, rectangular top, four spheres beneath the four legs (the legs joined by brackets that spring from rectangular blocks and are carved with spherical elements accompanied by lentil-shaped or disc-like forms), and a carved waist at the bottom of the front. This section also features a lockable drawer decorated with a carving of plant motifs divided into two rectangular areas; inside, a panel creates two compartments. Note the dovetail joints. As one of the most common types of furniture in the Castilian school of antique Spanish design, similar examples can be found in important private collections and prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with some of the sideboards in the Lope de Vega House Museum in Madrid (one with column legs dates from the first half of the 17th century), or with some of those preserved in the Cervantes House Museum in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid (in particular, one has a leg design similar to the one shown here; the museum version dates from the 17th century and is registered under inventory number CE00113).

Wine tasting glass or shudder. Silver. 18th century. A vessel known as a wine glass or tembladera (due to its lack of a foot), made of silver in its natural color, with two flat, curved handles decorated with simplified vegetal motifs, and a line of scalloped shapes (lobed forms) around the rim, enhanced by bands of recessed dots that remain in relief on the interior of the piece, where they extend and frame the background decoration. A flower, highlighted with a line of dots, is located in this area. Bernegales and tembladeras with scalloped shapes were common pieces in 17th-century Spanish silverwork, generally becoming relegated to less important centers 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 of the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 in the same museum (inventory 3910), or that of José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Shepherd's box. Carved horn, wood, metal. Spanish school, 1861. It presents inscriptions.

This type of box, of folk tradition, was common in the past and was usually made by shepherds or cattle farmers themselves to store snuff or tobacco.
