Knight. Oil on canvas. Dedicated, signed (F. Lloret.) and dated (1897) in the lower left corner. Against an indeterminate background, the knight's bust is positioned, his face slightly turned to the right. In the lower left corner, the dedication ("To Porfirio / his friend"), the painter's signature, and the date the work was completed ("F/97") appear. As in the rest of Europe, portraiture was a genre that enjoyed great popularity in 19th-century Spain, mainly thanks to social changes (the rise of the upper bourgeoisie, etc.) that influenced aesthetics. Hence the degree of intimacy the painting exudes, different from the "official portraits" preferred by the nobility.

Bronze chandelier with 12 arms. 19th Century Adapted for electric use, the twelve arms are joined above a sphere, which is fixed to the ceiling by a turned arm and another sphere at its midpoint. The earliest examples of this element date from the Middle Ages, adopted for secular use from churches, and its design began to develop from the 15th century onwards. Made of glass, either clear or colored, or of bronze, or a combination of both, these lamps were always intended for important residences, both because of their size and the amount of candles they consumed.

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.

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.

Rectangular box with chamfered corners resting on four claws with nails and featuring a lid with a projection towards the centre and a plaque with engraved initials of ownership. On the outside, it has a frieze of plant motifs above the keyhole.

Rococo frame. Gilt wood. 18th century. Rectangular frame made of carved and gilded wood, decorated at the corners and centers of the sides with carvings depicting architectural elements, plants, and rocailles. The contrast between the plain moldings of the uncarved sections and the carvings, the absence of a crest, and the asymmetry present in the piece are striking. The latter was common in the early Rococo period, an artistic style born in France and developing primarily between 1730 and around 1760.
