Convoy of silver vinegar cruets, Santander, 19th century. With hallmarks, local and silversmith marks (Santander, Trabanco, M.Navarro). Holding a basket with a handle on his head is the figure of an Indian, wearing a skirt and a feathered headdress. The figure is standing on a column, flanked by two circular spaces for the vinegar cruets and by two other supports for the salt and pepper shakers. The decoration based on classical columns and palmettes is characteristic of Neoclassicism, while the presence of the feathered Indian provides a touch of exoticism highly appreciated in the 19th century.

Cornucopia. Gilded wood. 18th century. Rectangular cornucopia with a carved and gilded wooden frame decorated with a series of smooth mouldings and a very elaborate top (arranged in a symmetrical composition, architectural and plant elements, scrolls, etc. can be seen).

The combination of both styles of the 18th century is common both in Spanish furniture and in other schools. Requires restoration.

A flat octagonal box with a key lock and decorated with magnificent marquetry. On the lid, the decorative plant elements are arranged around a very delicate central motif; on the sides, a band with symmetrical plant elements has been arranged under another band of very elegant and simple geometric motifs, so as not to overshadow the former. The motifs on the box are reminiscent of Boulle-type marquetry due to their delicacy and design.

Catavinos or quaking glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two curved flat handles decorated with simplified plant elements, and a line of mortise (gallon-shaped shapes) on the edge enhanced by bands of sunken dots that remain in relief on the inside of the piece, where they extend and frame the decoration on the bottom. In this area there is a flower, enhanced with a line of dots. Bernegales and mortise-shaped bernegales were frequent pieces in Spanish silverware in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. Compare with pieces such as the silver bernegal from the last third of the 17th century in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (perhaps from the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 from the same museum (inventory 3910), or the one by José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Quaking glass or wine-tasting glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two flat handles in the shape of a “C” topped by volutes and decorated with wavy elements on the outside, which has a decoration on the edge (on the outside) of simple plant elements alternating with simple geometric elements made with lines and dots. On the bottom, on the inside, there is a plant element. In Spanish silverwork, the Baroque trends were maintained for almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It was not until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these novelties in Madrid, which would slowly spread to the rest of the centres, depending on the areas and masters. This survival of the forms of the 17th century can be seen in the fact that bernegales tembladeras were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, remaining during the 18th century relegated to centres far from the main areas of creation. Weight: 91 grams.
