Square table top. Geometric pattern. Marbles and hard stones. Table top with a concentric composition made from rectangles and triangles of different stones framed by another smooth band. 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. It is polychrome and bears the name of its owner in the centre: 'Long live Maria Hernandez', .

Set of three iron corbels used in some notable residences, decorated with scrolls, lines and other elements that could link the pieces to Neoclassicism, but which also have a somewhat more modern air.

Wrought iron railing with thirteen bars with double pear-shaped and disc-shaped 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 created with the same railing (one of the balusters allows part of the railing to rotate). Although balustraded shapes were already used in Baroque railings, the present composition refers more to 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 vegetal bulb. The folding mechanism is located above this foot, and the top surface is round with a profile featuring curves 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 backdrops 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 artwork. 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. Rectangular frame made of carved and gilded wood that combines a thin smooth band on the inside, with another carved band with a band and another on the outside, in which smooth areas are combined with delicate plant details (these in the same finish as the rest of the molding, highlighted on a striped background). Nowadays, the value and appreciation of frames is on the rise due to the search for them by museums and important institutions, with the aim of giving the works the frames they would have had originally. Hence, similar examples are found in some paintings by Vermeer, for example, or can be found in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, in the Louvre Museum, in the British Museum and in the Victoria & Albert in London, etc.
