SILVER CUP (“TEMBLADERA”). 18TH CENTURY.

Catavinos or quaking glass. Silver. 18th century. Without contrast marks. Vessel known as catavinos or tembladera with two flat, closed “S” shaped handles and a line of “bites” (gallon-shaped shapes) highlighted by bands of dots that move to the inside of the piece. The bottom has a star shape (leaving smooth and with a shiny finish some stripes forming a Maltese Cross, and combining in the rest areas in the same finish with others in diamond-shaped lustre with dots). The bernegales and tembladeras with mortise-shaped pieces were frequent pieces in Spanish silverwork in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century.

A carving showing a male figure standing on a base and carrying a child on his shoulders.

RELIQUARY PENDANT. SILVER, ENAMEL. 17TH CENTURY.

Reliquary pendant. Silver, enamel, textile. 17th century. A large polygonal pendant with a silver frame in its colour decorated with small pearls of the same material located in the corners of the edge, which has a ring at the top so that it can be hung or carried. One of its fronts has a textile background under a sheet of transparent glass, probably designed to contain relics. The other has a brightly coloured enamel showing the Virgin Mary in three-quarters, with the naked Child Jesus in her arms and both figures cut out against a landscape background with classicist architectural elements (a column with a fluted shaft on a pedestal, with mouldings) and details of a natural landscape (thus linking the moment with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt; compare, also, with works such as the Virgin and Child by Anton van Dyck from the Cerralbo Museum in Madrid or the oil painting from The Walters Art Museum, or the engraving by Paulus Pontius following Van Dyck's models - where the elements coincide in arrangement with those of the medallion -, for example). This type of jewellery has always had great value, both for the materials used and for its religious content. Despite this (or perhaps because of this same appreciation) there are not many examples of quality and in good condition, and it is possible to find them only in important private collections and in outstanding museums such as the Fundación Valencia de Don Juan in Madrid, the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in the same city, etc., or old religious centres such as the Convent of the Descalzas Reales in Madrid.

WASHING MACHINE. METAL, ETC. SKRAT, MODEL P-7, LEONARD RYZNAR, CIRCA 1...

Washing machine. Metal, etc. SKRAT, model P-7, Leonard Ryznar, circa 1945. Metal washing machine with an electric motor that would drive a circular container (which moves the clothes, a “drum”), with a water inlet at the bottom to the right and with several valves and levers, as well as four circular base legs. to better support the ground and prevent, as far as possible, the machine from moving when it was in operation. Leonard Ryznar (or Rýznar) was the founder of the Skrat company, which made several models similar to the present one, very popular among those who could afford them in certain areas of Europe in the 20th century. As indicated on the aircraft itself, it is the P-7 model, produced around 1945. Towards the beginning of the 19th century, several “machines” were developed for washing clothes, consisting of a wooden box in which the clothes were placed and a manually operated system that moved them. Another variant was those that had a drum in which the clothes were pressed. clothes to wring them out. Electric washing machines were not created until the beginning of the 20th century (these appliances were already being advertised in the United States in 1904; apparently, the first one in Europe appeared somewhat later), becoming a mass appliance from the end of the 1900s onwards. from the 1940s to the early 1950s, and in Western Europe developed into an everyday appliance from about 1960.

VICTORIAN 18 KT GOLD BROOCH WITH AMETHYST

Victorian 18kt gold brooch with amethyst. 19th century. An 18-karat gold brooch featuring a fine hanging metal chain, ending in a gold safety pin designed to hold lightweight decorative elements or to attach to fabric, adding some movement to the piece. The focal point is a faceted oval amethyst, set in a fine setting to maintain attention from the gem's frame. This frame is formed by an elaborate and delicate composition: in the centers of the sides are four rectangular pieces with curved smaller ends, decorated with fine plant elements and scrolls reminiscent of classicism. These elements are interspersed with two concave scrolls flanking a leaf (which also features a fine plant decoration in light relief). This frame is visually attached to the gem by a series of elements reminiscent of fine ribbons, with a decoration similar to that of the aforementioned rectangular pieces. Historically, the Victorian Era began in 1837 with the coronation of a young Queen Victoria in England, and ended in 1901 with her death. It was the period of greatest development of the Industrial Revolution, something that also influenced jewelry thanks to important technological advances in virtually every field (water power, steam engines, gas, etc. influenced the machinery used), and England's broad political dominance allowed for the consideration of "exotic" materials from the colonies. Advances in machinery made it possible to slightly reduce jewelry costs, obtain new gem cuts with a greater number of facets (thanks to faster lathes), and introduced new alloys (the lowering of gold alloys starting in 1854 in England, the introduction of galvanization, etc.). As for the designs, these were always influenced by Queen Victoria's taste. Thus, in general, three stages can be distinguished: the Early Victorian or Romantic Period (c. 1837-1860), frequently inspired by the natural world; the Middle Victorian or Great Period (c. 1860-1885), marked by mourning for the death of the Queen's mother and her husband Albert in the same year and the Civil War in the United States, among other events, influenced by archaeological discoveries of the time and technical developments in enamelling and gold granulation, and the frequent presence of gems; the Late Victorian or Aesthetic Period (1885-1901), marked by the discovery of diamond mines in Africa, which made stones cheaper, allowing for more frequent use in jewellery, more frequent use of ivory and soft colour combinations, and a general reduction in the size of works.

Mortar. Carved stone. 18th century. Mortar made from a single piece of carved stone with a circular base and four handles or worn projections carved towards the outside of its body, in the shape of a cup.
