CRUET SET. SILVER, GLASS. RENÉ-PIERRE FERRIER, PARIS, FRANCE, 1775.

Set of vinegar cruets. Silver and glass. René-Pierre Ferrier, Paris, 1775. With contrast markings. A set of cruets and saltines made of silver and clear glass, comprising two jugs with handles, elongated necks and spouts, and circular bases with faceted exteriors; an oval tray with two stands for the jugs and two more for the stoppers (decorated with leaves and fruit). The tray has four volute-shaped legs, a decoration that is repeated at its ends, and two architectural forms on the longer sides, precisely where the spice rack stands are located. The jug stands feature openwork decoration of architectural motifs framing baskets of grapes, vine leaves, and flowers. The hallmarks on the silver pieces identify it as a work by René-Pierre Ferrier (his hallmark is present), made in Paris between 1775 and 1776 (the crowned M; mark of “Maison Commune”) and with the corresponding taxes paid (the crowned A—this particular mark was used in Paris between 1775 and 1781—and the bull's head—identical to the previous one). René-Pierre Ferrier was a French silversmith whose mark appears to have been used on pieces from 1775, the year he achieved the rank of master. The shape of the tray is reminiscent of other works by the same silversmith dating from the end of the century, with a more pronounced "nave" or "ship" shape. The decorative elements reflect Neoclassicism, a very popular style in France at the time. Similar pieces can be found in some private collections and in institutions such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris (Petit Palais), dated between 1783 and 1784 (inventory PPO2012), or in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Weight: 558 g silver / 1245 g with bottle.

BANDIT AND MILITARY, PAIR. OIL ON BOARD.LUCAS VILLAAMIL, EUGENIO (1858...

Bandit and soldier, a couple. Oils on panels. LUCAS VILLAAMIL, Eugenio (Madrid, 1858-1919). They present a signature and remnants of a signature. This pair of panels depicts, against a blue background, two male busts. Despite their detail and naturalism, they are not portraits per se, but rather "type paintings," reflecting the prevailing conception of a bandit or a general at the time, in line with certain common tenets of Spanish Romanticism. Eugenio Lucas Villaamil began his training with his father, Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, and continued it at the Special School of Painting in Madrid. His work was notable for largely following his father's style, with a strong Goyaesque influence in both style and subject matter (he also copied some of Goya's paintings), and he was a protégé of José Lázaro Galdiano. Thus, in addition to depictions of traditional Madrid, bullfighting, and other subjects, he was also known for his portraits, urban scenes (of both the upper and lower classes), and other works. His work is held in numerous private collections and institutions such as the Prado Museum (Madrid), the Carmen Thyssen Museum (Málaga), the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (Madrid), the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando (Madrid), and the National Museum of Romanticism (Madrid), among others.

SILVER SHELL. GARCÍA REINA, MANUEL. TOLEDO, SPAIN, CIRCA 1730-1741

Baptismal shell. Silver in its natural color. GARCÍA REINA, Manuel. Toledo, Spain, circa 1730-1751. With contrast marks, it presents a deficiency. A shell crafted in silver in its natural color, featuring naturalistic details, and topped with a cartouche (containing an engraved element) and a simplified plant form on one side (the symmetrical version is missing). The hallmarks are located on what would be the "ears" or "little ears." A numerical mark is visible on the exterior. On the interior are the hallmarks that place the creation of the piece in the Spanish city of Toledo, when Diego Rodríguez de Lezama (or Lizana), whose mark is also found on the other ear, worked as a certified assayer. The third mark, located below the location mark, identifies the piece as being made by Manuel García Reina, who was born around 1706 in Colmenar Viejo and trained in Madrid with Juan López Sopuerta. He settled in Toledo around 1730, where he furthered his studies with Manuel Vargas Machuca, entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Eloy in 1733. He was an assimilator in 1747 and 1755, is known to have had a shop from at least 1743, and is documented until 1772. Diego Rodríguez de Lizana or de Lezana was born in Bargas (Toledo) and trained under Juan de Jarauta, joining the Guild of Saint Eligius of Toledo in 1699. He served as an approver for the guild in 1715 and 1718, and worked as an assayer from around 1730 until his death in 1751 or 1754. His works are preserved in San Pedro Mártir, the parish church of Miguelturra (Ciudad Real), the cathedral of Lleida, and elsewhere. His work is also found in Santo Domingo el Real, some cruets in the Santa Cruz Museum of Toledo, the parish church of Los Yébenes, and other locations. Weight: 98 grams.

Pair of wall pedestals. Gilt bronze, porcelain. French school, towards the end of the 19th century. A pair of small wall-mounted shelves made of gilt bronze decorated with relief elements of clear classical inspiration (architectural motifs, scrolls, fluted moldings, garlands of roses, ribbons, etc.), following common trends in the 19th-century French school. Each shelf features three glazed porcelain plaques decorated in colors and forms typical of the Sèvres factory (Manufacture nationale de Sèvres): two with a medallion of flowers and a blue border (all four are different), and a larger one in the center with a medallion depicting a female portrait (both are different: one shows a young woman with a frame of gilt flowers; the other shows a lady with her hair covered and a plain gilt frame). Note that the backs of these medallions and plaques are unmarked and have some imperfections not visible on the front. As is typical of this type of decorative piece from the French school, other similar examples exist, varying in the porcelain medallions and the number of porcelain plaques on the bases. Weight: 1.87 kg and 1.86 kg.

R.DOMINGO 1901. \'ARTILLERY MANEUVERS\'

DOMINGO FALLOLA, Roberto (Paris, 1883 – Madrid, 1956). “The Load”, Paris. Watercolor on paper. Signed and located in the lower right corner. Domingo trained in Paris with his father, the painter Francisco Domingo Marqués, and later at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he was a student of Antonio Muñoz Degraín.

He also held exhibitions in Rome and London. A genre painter, he specialized in bullfighting themes, which brought him great fame and prestige. Roberto Domingo's work is represented in the Prado Museum, the Granada Museum of Fine Arts, the Provincial Museum of Cádiz, the Municipal Museum of Madrid, the bullfighting museums of Las Ventas in Madrid, La Maestranza in Seville, Valencia, and Viana de Cega (Valladolid), the Larrés Castle Drawing Museum (Huesca), and the Havana and Hemingway Museums in Cuba, among many others.

ORNAMENTAL MIRROR WITH CREST, 18TH CENTURY.

Cornucopia with prominent crest in carved and gilded wood, 18th century. A cornucopia with a rectangular mirror inside, its frame adorned with simple moldings (some concave, some straight, and some convex) without exaggerated movement, and on the outside, delicate garlands of flowers. The prominent upper crest stands out, composed of rocaille, curved moldings, flowers, and a vase. This work is of great interest because, while the simple lines mentioned above are more characteristic of the Neoclassical style, other elements (rocaille, concave and convex moldings, movement, decorative exuberance, etc.) are characteristic of the Rococo style. Both artistic styles coexisted in 18th-century Spain. It requires cleaning and minor restorations.

BRONZE “WOUNDED FIGHTING BULL”.

Bronze sculpture, “Wounded Bull”. Signed “F. Bonilla Villalba” on the base. On a wooden base stands the figure of a bull after the final stages of the bullfight, depicted with the banderillas and the sword, as evidenced by the elements used in both: three banderillas and the sword. Thanks to the artist's exceptional skill, one can clearly see both the moment when the bull is about to die and bellows, and the blood flowing from its wounds. The drama is heightened by the unique treatment of the animal's hide.

SILVER “TEMBLADERA” (CUP). JUAN MONTERO, SALAMANCA, SPAIN, 18TH CENTUR...

Trembladera. Silver. Juan Ignacio Montero, Salamanca, 18th century. With contrast markings. Silver trembler in its natural color, smooth on the outside, decorated with two inverted "S" shaped handles adorned with external spikes. At the base of the piece are four hallmarks (flanking the hallmark line), which place the piece's creation in Salamanca (note the bull), with the involvement of Juan Ignacio Montero; two other hallmarks are also present, but they were not made. Juan Ignacio Montero was a silversmith and hallmarker, and the hallmark seen here appears to date from surviving works dated between 1759 and 1779, such as a reliquary altarpiece in the Parish Church of San Lorenzo in Segovia (by Manuel Cardeñosa, dated 1767). He is known to have served as a hallmarker in Salamanca between 1758 and 1781 and to have been active until 1779. He used a hallmark that included dates for the year, although sometimes the same mark was used in several years. Weight: 70 g.
