Devotional pendant. Bronze, enamel, glass, etc. Spanish school, 17th century. It has faults. A devotional pendant or confraternity insignia consisting of a frame with a ring at the top, a band with white enamel ovals, and a crest of alternating wavy and straight triangular rays topped with stars; and two sides. The front features a painted image (possibly Mary Magdalene in Penitence). The back has an openwork plaque with figurative enamel decoration (a monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament, a cross inside, and rays of light emanating outwards, flanked by two angels, all surrounded by further decorative elements). This devotional pendant (which sometimes functioned as a reliquary, allowing small items to be stored between the openwork plaque on the back and the image on the front) is considered by experts to be part of a group of medallions (oval, triangular, octagonal, etc.) made in Spanish workshops (Salamanca, Toledo, overseas, etc.) primarily between 1620 and 1640, but with a long-standing presence in Spanish tradition. Generally, the iconography they display shows a strong influence from the pronouncements of the Council of Trent.

Spouted jug-type cruet. Gilt bronze. Spanish school, 17th century. It has faults. Small jug made of gilt bronze, with a circular base, a body engraved with vegetal and architectural elements, a spout on one side, and a ribbed handle in the shape of a "C". Its characteristics are similar to those of silverwork from the Madrid school of the last third of the 17th century, although, being a highly prized and common type in Spain at the time, it is worth noting that these small jugs were also made in South America and Italy. Weight: 250 grams.

Photograph and signature. Vaslav Niyinsky (kyiv, 1890-London, 1950), 1914. Vaslav Niyinsky (transliterated Vaslav Fomich Nizhinski) was a Polish-born Russian ballet dancer and choreographer considered one of the most gifted in history, particularly due to his encounter with Sergei Diaghilev, a member of the St. Petersburg elite and an important patron of the arts, who promoted Russian visual and musical art abroad, especially in Paris. During World War I, Nijinsky was placed under house arrest in Hungary because he was a Russian citizen. Diaghilev managed to get Nijinsky out of the country thanks to the intervention of King Alfonso XIII and his Office for Prisoners of War. The signature appears accompanied by a photograph of the type used as calling cards at the time (cabinet photograph), and is dated 1914.

Desk. Carved wood. 19th century. A table with a straight rectangular top, raised on four vase-shaped legs with moldings, featuring two drawers on one side. The mixture of elements that can be linked to Neoclassicism (simplicity, moldings) and others that seem more Baroque from the 17th century (movement in the lines of the legs) is common in 19th-century furniture, which often drew inspiration from earlier styles.

Devotional pendant, Saint Teresa of Ávila. Bronze, enamel, etc. Spanish School, 17th century. It has faults. A devotional medallion commonly known as a "steadfastness" or "steadfastness in the Faith" medal, or a "confraternity badge" due to its shape. It consists of a triangular frame with a ring for hanging and simple enameled elements (juxtaposed "C" shapes, bands, and vegetal motifs), and two fronts, leaving a small space in the center of each that was sometimes used to hold relics. On one side, the typical reverse of this type of piece is visible: the IHS with the second letter surmounted by a Latin cross and three nails, all surrounded by vegetal motifs and enameled in various colors. The front displays a painting of Saint Teresa of Ávila or of Jesus (founder of the Discalced Carmelite Order—a branch of the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel—canonized in 1622), based on the portrait painted by Friar Juan de la Miseria in 1576. This type of devotional medallion appears frequently in Barcelona apprenticeship examinations dated around 1620-1630, but examples have also been found in Toledo, Córdoba, Seville, and other cities, as well as in overseas productions. Experts generally mention a series of confraternity plaques or medallions (oval, rectangular, octagonal, or triangular) produced in Spanish workshops primarily between 1620 and 1640. Their iconography is generally heavily influenced by the teachings of the Council of Trent.

Bronze sculpture “Cupid”. Inspired by models by Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau (1834-1917). Marble base. Lost-wax casting. The figure of the child is identified by its wings and the bow it displays. Cupid appears semi-nude, with his quiver at his feet and a tree stump behind him. The work is based on models created by a member of the renowned Moureau family. Mathurin first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1848, and in 1897 he received a Medal of Honor. His work, rooted in that esteemed family style, exhibits a number of distinctive characteristics that are still present in this sculpture.
