Monk's armchair. Walnut wood, leather. Spain, 16th century. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar's chair”, which has leather with studs on the seat and upper part of the backrest, very low chambranes joining the front legs with the back ones and middle chambranes or side rails (the front one carved with a relief of floral motifs flanking an empty heraldic shield in the round) joining the two front legs and the two back ones, and simple armrests, with the fluted fronts following architectural influences. The friar's chair, initially of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Being such a deep-rooted tradition in Spain, this type of model was never stopped being created. Requires restoration.

Knight. Oil on canvas. Dedicated, signed (F. Lloret.) and dated (1897) in the lower left corner. The bust of the gentleman is placed against an indeterminate background, his face slightly turned to the right. In the lower left corner, the dedication appears (“To Porfirio / his friend”), the painter’s signature and the date of the work’s completion (“F/97”). 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.
