WEDDING CHEST. WOOD, TEXTILE, METAL, REMAINDERS OF POLYCHROMY. SALAMAN...

Ark. Carved wood, metal, textile, traces of polychromy. Salamanca area, 17th century. A rectangular chest with a flat lid, carved from wood, retaining traces of its original polychromy, corner pieces, and other metal fittings, as well as textile details in certain areas. The exterior is decorated with a molding along its lower section featuring curved motifs and simple carved vegetal decoration arranged in a rigid symmetry, highlighting a capital inscription on the front (“Viva María / Fernandez”) alluding to the original owner of the piece. The interior is undecorated, with only the hinge fittings and exposed wood. The flat-lidded, rectangular chest was a common model in Spanish art from the Middle Ages onward, its decorative elements varying with the passage of time and changing styles. The metal components of the chest (corner pieces on red fabric, a lock shield on the front, internal hinges, handles on the sides for moving it, etc.) feature a wavy and finial decoration reminiscent of Baroque designs, as well as columns (flanking the keyhole). The carved decoration on the front (simplified flowers, stems, leaves, and perched birds, with simple polychromy in three colors—red, green, and yellow) is not particularly refined (a common feature in folk examples) and follows a composition and color scheme typical of folk chests from the Salamanca area. Walnut was commonly used in its construction (as with all Spanish furniture, due to the wood's durability and abundance at the time). Adding a feminine name in capital letters on the front (a detail that would indicate that the present piece of furniture is a chest made to store a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration on a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element to highlight in the present piece of furniture. A similar model is mentioned in one of the most frequently used reference books on Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. El mueble español en los siglos XV, XVI y XVII. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; plate 74; A beautiful example of a bridal chest or ark, in the popular Spanish style of the 17th century, with rudimentary carvings forming a series of stems, flowers, and animals. It is polychrome and bears the name of its owner in the center: 'Viva María Hernández'. .

The polygonal finials located beneath the two facing scrolls at the top are reminiscent of certain Eastern elements, while the overall composition can be compared to European traditions.

WROUGHT IRON GRILLE FOR A PULPIT. 18TH CENTURY.

Pulpit grille. Wrought iron. 18th century. A wrought iron grille with thirteen double-pear-shaped bars and discs on their shafts, arranged in a circle with flat bars of the same material (circular and cross-shaped combined at the base for a firmer hold, and arranged in a circle at the top), which would have been created to surround the pulpit of a church, accessible through a door made from the same grille (one of the balusters allows part of the grille to rotate). Although balustraded forms were already used in Baroque ironwork, this composition is more reminiscent of 18th-century Neoclassical models.

PEDESTAL TABLE IN MAHOGANY, GEORGE II STYLE, U.S.A., CA 1860.

Folding mahogany side table in the George II style, USA (America), circa 1860. A tripod with animal claws gripping a ball serves as the base for the furniture's foot, adorned with a small fluted column and a bulbous plant. The folding mechanism is located above this foot, and the top surface is round with a curved profile flanked by straight sections. American furniture owes much to English design, as this example demonstrates: it follows the so-called George II style, named after the monarch during whose reign it was created (he was born in 1683 and died in 1760), and is based on models taken from Renaissance Roman architecture.

OIL ON CANVAS STILL LIFE ASTERIO MAÑANOS

Asterio Mañanós Martínez began his painting studies at the Municipal Drawing School of Palencia with Justo María de Velasco and, from 1877, at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, in the classes of Casto Plasencia and Casado del Alisal. He also frequently visited the Prado Museum, making copies of Velázquez's works. From 1881, he participated in the National Fine Arts Exhibitions. He divided his time between Madrid and Palencia, where he was commissioned to design the curtains and stage curtains for the Teatro de Recreo Palentino. In 1885, he received a grant from the Provincial Council of Palencia to further his artistic training at the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome, which lasted a year. Back in his hometown, he decorated the Teatro de la Peña Palentina with Sabino Ojero. He also opened a drawing academy, named "Casado del Alisal" in honor of his teacher, in collaboration with Isidro Mallol. In 1889, he moved to Paris for a year to study the realist style of Léon Bonnat. Upon returning to Spain, he established his studio in Madrid, where he painted Doña Sancha Before the Corpse of Her Husband and the portrait of Tomás Bretón. From 1908, the Senate's Governing Commission appointed him curator of the Upper House's artworks. The large parliamentary paintings depicting Senate sessions and chambers are a product of this experience. One of his last canvases was an allegory of the Second Republic, now part of the Senate's collection. The place and circumstances of his death are unknown, but it is documented that he was alive in 1935.

FRAME. WOOD. 18TH CENTURY.

Frame. Carved and gilded wood. 18th century. A rectangular frame made of carved and gilded wood, combining a thin, smooth band on the inside with another carved band and a third, on the outside, in which smooth areas are combined with delicate vegetal details (these in the same finish as the rest of the molding, highlighted against a striped background). Currently, the value and appreciation of frames are on the rise due to their demand by important museums and institutions, who seek to restore artworks to their original frames. This explains why similar examples can be found in some of Vermeer's paintings, for instance, or in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre Museum, the British Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others.

PAIR OF RELIEFS; GROTESQUE OR CANDELIERI. POLICHROMED AND GILDED WOOD....

Pair of reliefs; grotesques or candelabra. Carved, polychrome and gilded wood. 16th century. A pair of reliefs made of hand-carved, gilded, and polychromed wood, each depicting a winged cherub's head (or putti) positioned on a vertical element that serves as the axis of symmetry for the relief's composition. The remaining motifs include scrolled leaves, floral and vegetal details, interlacing patterns, and moldings, all clearly influenced by classical art. The background is devoid of any decorative elements, either carved or painted, thus allowing the aforementioned elements to take center stage. These types of compositions were very common during the Renaissance throughout Europe, as the "fashion" for grotesques spread from Italy. Compare, for example, with the frieze depicted in an image from Diego de Sagredo's work entitled "Medidas del Romano" (1526, Toledo); details from the Chapel of Santa Librada in Sigüenza Cathedral by Francisco de Baeza (circa 1520); others from the façade of the Escuelas Mayores of the University of Salamanca; the main altarpiece of the Collegiate Church of Torrijos (Toledo), commissioned in 1558 from Juan Correa de Vivar; etc. It should be noted that these decorative motifs would have a long tradition in Spanish art. It is quite possible that the present relief plaque was created to form part of an altar in a church even though it is not decorated with a religious theme (note that the theme of the “winged heads”, often called “putti”, also comes from Italy and is found in both civil and religious works).
