Chest of drawers. Carved wood, metal. 20th century. Chest of drawers with a rectangular top decorated with lines below it and with simple lines on the doors and drawers. The arrangement of these elements (three drawers on the top, two doors in the centre below and two small drawers flanking these) is reminiscent of certain pieces of furniture of Chinese origin made in the 19th century and imported to Europe due to the taste of the upper classes for these exotic pieces.

“Baby Jesus”. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 17th century. Later pedestal. Christ is presented naked, with a slight contrapposto in the legs and hips that give some movement to the sculpture and with delicate flesh tones. He keeps his gaze fixed forward, while raising one arm in an attitude of blessing, and holds a golden orb alluding to Creation with the other hand. His curly, blond hair has a tuft in the centre of his head. The sculpture is enhanced by a pedestal, modern but inspired by Spanish Baroque models, formed by lines with a lot of movement and decorated with architectural elements of classical influence, among which the pairs of protruding volutes from the fronts stand out. Although the forelock is reminiscent of the works of Martínez Montañés, in this example the hair is clearly curly. Compare this work with works such as those preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Córdoba, with one in the Municipal Museum of La Roda, some from the Royal Monastery of Las Descalzas in Madrid, etc. This type of work was made to be worn, and was normally intended for a female religious setting (it was considered that female devotion should not be directed towards certain works or iconography of the Passion because it was too strong), or some private oratory in some important residence.

Centerpiece. Gilded bronze, marble. France, late 19th century Centrepiece or planter that has a globular body carved in veined marble in pink tones (of a type similar to a very popular one often used in works by the French school during the Rococo of the 18th century) and mercury-gilded marble bosses. These are decorated with lion's claws on the legs, simple architectural mouldings and masks with vegetal elements (feminine and monstrous, alternating), and a border that extends towards the inner area of the pieces creating like two wings or handles, decorated with vegetal and architectural elements (scrolls, flowers, bows, leaves, etc.) both on the outside and inside of this area, leaving what would be the inner area of the marble pieces smooth. The classicist inspiration of the decorative elements of the couple is common in works of the French school since the 18th century. Some details (for example, the claws that finish the legs) are seen in Louis XIV style centerpieces dating from that century, while other elements are more often seen in Louis XVI style works (one of the main styles of the Neoclassical style). There is only one known piece preserved in a private collection in the United States of America. Weight: 16 kg

Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, stucco, etc. Mexican school, 17th century. No contrast marks. Has faults. Mirror with a slightly rectangular frame made of wood with polychrome areas and embossed silver plating on stucco and enhanced with enamel cabochons with geometric elements in dark and light blue. On the front there are a series of smooth mouldings, one of which has the aforementioned polychromy. The silver stripe is distributed around the outside of the piece, with the corners in exposed wood and stripes in smooth silver (two on each side), and a decoration with a certain volume in which architectural elements with a clear classicist influence are combined (in the centre of which are the enamel cabochons), flanked in the more elongated areas by compositions with scrolls, volutes, plant motifs and fruits. Stylistically speaking, the work can be linked to works in the same technique made in Mexico, mainly on small chests. Also, as is usual due to the peninsular influence, it is possible to recall works such as the Holy Thursday Chest from the 17th century in Barbastro. Weight: 5.7 kg.
