Guang Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei. Watercolor. China, early 20th century. Framed painting showing three male figures, with a text on the right side. The one reading and sitting on a throne covered with tiger skin, stands out above all for his beard, but also for his rich clothing. The two characters are situated Standing, they also wear rich (although somewhat less) clothing, and one carries a halberd or spear while another carries an object in his hands. Guang Yu was a military general under Lui Bei during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Period of ancient China, and his life and achievements were so extolled and glorified that he was deified during the Sui Dynasty, emphasizing his exploits further in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and becoming one of the main examples of loyalty and righteousness, receiving worship even today and receiving names such as "Emperor Guan" or "Lord Guan". Together with Zhang Fei shared a brotherly relationship with Lui Bei, and accompanied him on some of his early exploits. Weight: 9 kg.

Box or casket with a royal monogram. Mahogany wood, metal. Spain, 19th century. It has slight damage. Rectangular box with a flat lid and a keyhole on the front decorated with metal appliqués on the corners, edges, handles, etc. A fleur-de-lis is featured beneath the keyhole. The lid features a central motif with fleur-de-lis and a crowned M, and alternating crowned castles and lions in the corners. This emblem (and the fact that it is accompanied by lions and castles, alluding to Castilian heraldry) is reminiscent of the royal monograms that, apparently, all members of the royal family had in the past to mark their belongings. In this case, it is possible that it refers to Maria Cristina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (Palermo, 1806-Sainte-Adresse, 1878), wife of Ferdinand VII and regent during the minority of Isabella II. However, we must remember Maria Cristina of Habsburg-Lorraine or of Austria (1858-1929), wife of Alfonso XII. The emblem of Maria de las Mercedes de Orleans y Borbón (Madrid, 1860-1878), wife of Alfonso XII, usually appeared with two capital "Ms".

Bronze sculpture “Cupid”. Inspired by models by Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau (1834-1917). Marble base Lost wax casting. The figure of the child is identifiable by his wings and the bow he holds. Cupid appears half-naked, with his quiver at his feet and a tree stump behind him. The work is based on models created by a member of the well-known Moureau family: Mathurin exhibited for the first time at the Paris Salon in 1848, and was awarded a Medal of Honour in 1897. His work, inserted in this appreciated family style, shows a series of peculiarities that are still maintained in this sculpture.

Each of the figures in this set features the uniform characteristic of a military unit, clearly showing the change in uniformity that took place at the beginning of the 19th century. Already in the time of Napoleon Bonaparte, the main European porcelain factories (Meissen, Sèvres, Capodimonte, etc.) created numerous figurines with the characteristic uniforms of each nation. It is from these works that the set is inspired.
