MARBLE SCULPTURE. “PAIR TIGERS”.

Pair of carved marble sculptures. “Tiger”. Inspired by oriental models. The tigers are placed on a base that resembles earth thanks to sgraffito, and are shown roaring. The stripes on their bodies have been left in relief, like the hairs on their face; the whiskers and nose are not, but are simply engraved on the surface of the marble. Clear influences from Tibetan and Indian examples can be seen in the figure, which stands out for its magnificent combination of textures and the expressiveness of the animal.

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 Neoclassical styles, 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, depicting the banderillas and the kill, as evidenced by the elements used in both: three banderillas and the sword. Thanks to the artist's exceptional skill, one can appreciate 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.

BRONZE BULL. AFTER BENLLIURE, MARIANO (1862-1947).

Bull. Bronze. Based on the model by BENLLIURE GIL, Mariano (Valencia 1862-Madrid, 1947). Mariano Benlliure was a Spanish sculptor, a precocious creator both in the field of painting and sculpture. He trained in Valencia, Madrid, Paris, Rome, etc., and his name became famous, more or less, when he settled in Madrid in 1887, obtaining a First Medal at the National Exhibition of that year. His healthy financial situation allowed him to have a great social life, meeting prominent figures of the time. He produced numerous religious, civil and funerary works (Cabra, Madrid, Seville, Navarra, etc.), and his work is preserved in important private collections and institutions.

POWDER HORN. SPAIN, 19TH CENTURY.

Powder keg. Engraved horn, rope, cork. Spain, 19th century. A container for storing gunpowder made from a cow horn and decorated on the outside with a series of figurative, geometric and vegetal engravings and inscriptions enhanced with dark or black ink or dye. The decoration is arranged in horizontal bands, with some elements enhanced with “frames” of crossed lines, and one can clearly see Latin crosses, floral elements, a coiled snake, various human figures (note in particular the male figures at the top, with firearms), quadrupeds, birds, fish and inscriptions in capital letters (names such as Manuel, intertwined initials...). Also known as “horns”, these types of vessels were usually made not by skilled and specialised workers, but by shepherds, ranchers, etc., using their own names, important elements from their area or for themselves, or motifs of great tradition in a certain area in their decoration. Compare this with the one by Pedro Doncel, dated 1855 and preserved in the Museum of Olivenza (Spain), or the one from 1883 in the Museo del Traje in Madrid (Spain).

Pair of candlesticks. Bronze. 16th century. A pair of bronze candlesticks with a raised, circular base enhanced by projecting, smooth moldings, a central axis decorated with discs, and a bulbous upper section.

Over the following centuries, details such as the proportions of the base, its lines, and the upper finial would be varied, adapting them to the taste of each period.

This type of work, although inspired both in materials and technique by those made by the main European workshops of the 16th to 18th centuries, is more reminiscent of the sample boards with which these centres showed off their materials to potential clients due to the prominence of the colours and veins of the stones.

WALNUT CLOTHING PRESS, HOLLAND, 19TH CENTURY.

Oak clothes press, Holland, 19th century. A clothes press with a lockable cabinet at the bottom, made of oak wood in Holland. As is normal for these utilitarian items, it is not decorated and was used to smooth clothes. It is not common to keep this type of object because they were very frequently thrown away once better technical innovations became available. Oak wood was chosen for its construction due to its hardness and resistance.

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

Chest. Carved wood, metal, textile, remains of polychromy. Salamanca area, 17th century. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood that preserves remains of the original polychromy, corners and other metal fittings and textile details in certain places. It is decorated on the outside with a moulding in its lower area based on curved motifs and a simple carved decoration with a plant theme arranged in a rigid symmetry highlighting an inscription in capital letters on the front (“Long live María / Fernandez”) alluding to the original owner of the piece. On the inside it has no decoration or other elements than the parts of the fittings of the corresponding hinges and the exposed wood. The rectangular, flat-lidded chest model was very common in Spanish art since the Middle Ages, with its decorative elements varying over time and with the styles. The metal elements of the piece of furniture (corner guards on red fabric, lock shield on the front, hinges on the inside, handles on the sides for moving it, etc.) have a decoration of waves and finials that refer to Baroque models, 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 colours - red, green, yellow -) is not too fine (something common in popular examples), and follows a composition and colours very common in popular chests in the Salamanca area, with the use of walnut being common for its construction (as in all Spanish furniture, due to the resistance of the wood and its abundance at that time). The addition of a female name in capital letters on the front (a detail that would indicate that this piece of furniture is a chest made to store a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration in a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element worth highlighting in this piece of furniture. A similar model is mentioned in one of the most used reference books on Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. Spanish furniture in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; plate 74; Beautiful example of a bridal chest or chest, popular Spanish style of the 17th century, with rudimentary carvings forming a series of stems, flowers and animals.

The polygonal finials located under the two facing scrolls at the top recall certain elements of the East, while the composition can be compared to European traditions.

Although balustraded shapes were already used in Baroque railings, the present composition refers more to 18th-century Neoclassical models.
