Classic corbel in marble dust. Under a simple moulding, a scroll with an open centre has been placed, revealing a curved shape in another colour whose lines it follows. This two-colour scheme can be seen in other architectural details of the corbel, such as the oval shield with scrolls in the lower area, or the three drops in the centre. Although the inspiration in elements from Antiquity is clear, these have been used freely, giving rise to a highly original work of art.

Armchair. Walnut wood, upholstery. Spanish school, 18th century. A carved walnut armchair or chair with an upholstered seat featuring a high, openwork backrest decorated with simplified architectural and plant elements, wavy arms finished in a scroll and joined to the backrest and seat, cabriolet-shaped front legs finished in claws with spheres, and straight rear legs secured with a smooth chamfer. The seat has a cut-out decoration in its lower area. Aesthetically, it is reminiscent in certain details of furniture from the English school, but, as is usual in 18th-century Spanish cabinetmaking, it also shows French influence.

Cylindrical “turner’s test” box, 17th-18th century. Cylindrical box decorated with different bands and a lid with a carved star. On the base there are a series of inscriptions that allude to the purpose for which it was created: these types of pieces were tests of mastery for apprentice turners, which they had to take in order to pass certain exams within the guild to which they belonged. Many of these works are not preserved because they are more practical than decorative and not commissioned by a client, but their interest is undeniable for this very reason.

Interior. Oil on panel. GIFFEN CAULDWELL, Leslie (United States of America, 1861-1941). Signed (bottom left and top right). Oil on panel showing an interior with a series of objects (a shelf, part of a wall, pieces of ceramic or porcelain, etc.) with a treatment derived from certain contributions from European avant-garde art, as can be seen in the framing of the scene, the predominance of colour over drawing, the brushstrokes, etc. Leslie Giffen Cauldwell was a painter born in New York (USA) who trained at the Académie Julian in Paris (France) under Gustave Boulanger and Carolus-Duran and exhibited his work at the Salons of 1885 and 1888. His work is preserved in private collections and institutions such as the Musée Orsay in Paris.

Acetre. Bronze. 16th century. Bronze piece with a circular base and a circular body with a mouth that extends outwards at the top and a relief decoration in this last area with masks that recall certain Renaissance pieces with Medusa (the rings for the handle emerge from two of these elements). This acetre, a vessel for holy water also known as a situla, is a piece that, in this religious context, appeared in the West in the Middle Ages. The present example is inspired by Renaissance pieces both in its lines and its decoration and, therefore, is also reminiscent of works from Ancient Rome (situla from the Landesmuseum in Hannover, etc.).

Door knocker. Wrought iron. 16th century. Door knocker made of wrought iron and made up of several pieces, among which the main one stands out. It has two bands that start in parallel and then separate to form two facing volutes joined in this area by a rectangular piece, also showing several engraved lines that highlight these elements. The use of wrought iron volutes was common since Romanesque times, and we can speak of an evolution in this element over time. The present example belongs, due to its shape, to a type of handle or knocker known as “scissor”.

Monk's armchair. Leather, wood. Spain, 16th century. It has flaws and requires restoration. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “frailero”, which has leather with studs on the upper part of the backrest and on the seat, low chambranes with a cut-out profile joining the front legs with the back ones and middle chambranes or side rails (the front one carved and cut out creating geometric motifs) joining the two front legs and the two back ones, and simple armrests. 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 never stopped being created.

Devotional medal of Saint Nicholas on a support. Gilt bronze, textile, metal. 18th century. Devotional medal in gilded bronze placed on a support with wires that presents an oval frame enhanced with a crest with vegetal elements in a symmetrical composition and another top below also with vegetal elements and scrolls, and the figure of a saint inside this smooth frame. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical attire, accompanied by some small figures praying, placed in a barrel or bucket. Saint Nicholas of Myra or Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. One of his most famous miracles was that of resurrecting three children (shown in this work) sacrificed by an innkeeper to feed his clients. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here wearing liturgical vestments but without the usual headdress (mitre). The three spheres that appear on the book would allude to the miracle in which the saint helps the father of three girls to gather a dowry for them (as they are three golden spheres).
