Lady. Oil on canvas. Signed (F. Lloret.) and dated (February 97) in the lower right corner. Against an indeterminate background, there is the bust of a lady, her head slightly turned to the left. In the lower right corner, the painter's signature and the date of the work's execution can be seen (February 97, 1897). As in the rest of Europe, the portrait was a genre that enjoyed great popularity in 19th century Spain, mainly thanks to social changes (rise of the upper bourgeoisie, etc.) that influenced aesthetics, hence the degree of intimacy that the painting gives off, different from the "official portraits" preferred by the nobility.

12-arm bronze chandelier. 19th century Adapted for electrical use, the twelve arms are joined above a sphere, which is fixed to the ceiling by a fixed turned arm with another sphere in the middle of it. The earliest examples of this element date back to the Middle Ages, taken for civil use from their use in churches, and their design began to develop from the 15th century. Made of glass, transparent or coloured, bronze or a combination of both, they were always lamps intended for important residences, both because of their size and the consumption of candles they required.

Cameo with gold mount (9 kts); brooch. Victorian period, ca. 1860. Cameo with an openwork die-cut mount in 9 kt gold, decorated with a symmetrical composition of contrasting “Cs”, simplified volutes and scallop-shaped forms at the equator of the piece (on both sides). The cameo itself, made in Cassius Cypraea (and therefore of the type known in the 19th century as “coralino”), presents a scene from classical mythology: on the left is Aurora, accompanied by a winged child with a torch (Phosphor, the morning star) and preceding the chariot of the Sun with four horses, which is surrounded by the Hours and driven by Apollo. Note the compositional and iconographic similarity between the scene and the fresco painted by Guido Reni between 1613 and 1614 at the Casino dell'Aurora Pallavicini (Rome, Italy), entitled “L'Aurora”, which was also often used as inspiration for works on different supports throughout the 19th century.

Spice rack. Silver. Spain, Cordoba, second half of the 18th century. With contrast marks. Silver spice rack in its colour with a truncated cone-shaped body, a sinuous lower edge resting on legs with scrolls and plant motifs, a semi-spherical bowl without divisions, a lid with a dome-shaped hinge and decorated with plant elements in high relief. The lid features a rose surrounded by a line of dots that create waves. The hallmarks place the piece's production in Córdoba, verified by Damián de Castro and by the hand of Juan Sánchez Soto (probably Cristóbal's son and brother), in the second half of the 18th century. Typologically, this is a spice rack belonging to a somewhat peculiar tradition or model, common in Córdoba and Madrid but also present in Gerona, Antequera, etc. Weight: 87 grams.

The hallmarks it presents identify it as an 18th century Cordoban work, by the hand of Juan de Luque y Leyva or Leiva (1721-1779/80), who was an official marker of the city between 1772 and 1779/80. Typologically, it is a spice rack belonging to a somewhat peculiar tradition or model, frequent in Cordoba and Madrid but also present in Gerona, Antequera, etc. Weight: 68 grams.

On the outside, it has a frieze of plant motifs above the keyhole. There is evidence of a sugar box in a private European collection with a hallmark similar to that of this piece (the initial A in a circle), being a neoclassical work from Berlin, the work of Gottlob Ludwig Howalt, and dated around 1820. This type of sugar bowls with closure were common in certain areas of northern Europe, taking on an appearance similar to that of this piece following the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte, with which the French aesthetic models spread.
