Dining table with oriental door top. Embossed metal, wood, bronze. 19th century and later. Dining table made with a wooden structure reinforced with metal elements and featuring two 19th century bronze doors as a top, for use with a glass top on this element. The bronze door features a series of decorative elements arranged within four square areas, in which a central motif (with birds and peacocks perched on a “Tree of Life” type plant element) is enhanced by a simplified plant decoration, and which are framed with bands of simple flowers and leaves. With four squares on each side, in the centre there is a band with flower buds. Both the decoration and its distribution, and the shape of these bronze doors are common in Eastern traditions, reminiscent above all of works done in India.

Pair of carved travertine table legs. Both identical, they have been decorated with symmetrically arranged fleshy leaves, reminiscent of tropical examples rather than the classically inspired acanthus. The emphasis on the natural element in the work is close to aesthetic approaches that emerged in art from the 19th century onward. Travertine, or travertine marble, is a sedimentary rock widely used for interior and exterior decoration since the Roman Empire.

Both the decorative motifs, the colour combination and the appearance (with areas that appear to be lacquered) follow ancient Chinese examples, but it is also possible to appreciate particular differences with what is usual in 19th century Chinese furniture in the West (proportions, combination of decorative techniques).

Walnut winged and claw-foot table, 19th century. The rectangular table stands on four eagle-shaped legs holding balls, with a drawer and two folding tops (from which the name of this type comes). The decorative simplicity of the work is due to its creation as a primarily functional piece of furniture, although the characteristic use of decorative elements from different traditions can be seen, something common in 19th-century art. The legs are very common in 18th-century English examples (“claw and ball” with a cabriolet leg) and the wood from which it is made is the most common in Spanish furniture.

“Gypsies”. Oil on canvas. Signed “A. Briones”. 20th century. Oil on canvas showing a natural landscape in the background, barely sketched, to give prominence to the figures moving forward in the foreground. The man on the right carries a staff on his shoulders and a series of items, and is accompanied by a bear cub. In the centre, a woman walks with a stick on her shoulder, leading a mount loaded with more objects and some children by the reins. The painting shows a family of gypsies on their way to a show in which they would use the bear cub. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the artistic image of gypsies was stereotyped and very scarce, with some engravings, tapestries and paintings such as “Landscape with Gypsies” by David Teniers III in the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The 19th century was the moment of the emergence of the gypsy motif in the visual arts, due to the interest of foreign artists attracted by the “exotic” nature of these people, exhibiting what they considered to be their most folkloric features, especially highlighting works by Fortuny and Sorolla. This work aims to focus on the particularities of the Gypsy people, but without limiting itself to their stereotypes, clearly showing the harshness of their life and the loneliness that it brought with it. Technically, it can be seen its relationship with new contributions that appeared in French painting since the end of the 19th century. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a pictorial movement that appeared in France towards the middle of the 19th century).

Grille with two gates. Wrought iron. Spain, 17th century. A wrought iron window grille featuring two smooth, circular cross-section rails in the center, inserted between the vertical bars. These rails are decorated with small discs and balustrade-like shapes (adding a subtle sense of movement) between the two rails, with the two pieces facing each other to create harmony. The decorative details mentioned refer to Baroque works of this material from the 17th century: compare, for example, with the balconies of the Casa de Panadería in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, or with Spanish pieces preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, a confessional grille in the Metropolitan Museum of New York dated 1629 (inv. 57.137.51) and another in the same museum made by the master Francisco González (inv. 56-234.12Ad).

“Satyr”. Patinated terracotta. Following models by CLODION, Claude Michel (France, 1738-1814). Late 19th century-early 20th century. A patinated terracotta sculpture consisting of an oval base decorated with simple architectural elements of classical influence and a tondo with a bust enhanced by a garland and two figures. These, lying on the upper part, are a satyr (with his usual goat-like legs) raising a bunch of grapes, and a young nymph, who embraces him while trying to reach these fruits. Compare this sculpture (not so much the base) with the one entitled “Nymph and Satyr” from the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon (Portugal), related to the sculptor Claude Michel, highlighting the similarities and differences. Pieces similar to the present work, also known as “Satyr Feeding a Nymph Grapes”, are kept in several private collections. Claude Michel “Clodion” (1730-1814) was a French sculptor who trained with Lambert Sigisbert Adam and Jean-Baptiste Pigalle. He was recognised with numerous awards (the Prix de Rome in 1762, etc.) and had an important workshop in Paris from 1771. Although he also produced large-scale works, he is above all known for his small-format sculptural works, made in bronze (or other materials such as corrugated iron or terracotta, for example), and which had a very important influence both during the sculptor's lifetime and long after his death on a large number of works inspired by his creations.

In this work, Caswell offers us an evocative landscape with romantic roots, typical of English landscape painting of the time, worked with a light and translucent chromatism that gives a special luminosity to the scene, enhancing at the same time its mysterious atmosphere.
