Frame. Carved and gilded wood. 18th century. Rectangular frame with a semicircular top in the centre, crowned by a composition with leaves and elements of the Passion of Christ (Crown of Thorns, Nails, etc.) decorated with a series of bands, alternating plain ones with two different strings of pearls. Although the 18th century is known for Rococo, it is not the only artistic style of the period: the decoration and shapes of the frame show a closer relationship with ancient Roman art, a common influence in Neoclassicism.

Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. Pair of stirrups made up of a block of carved wood, in the shape of a half moon at the front, and decorated on the outside with geometric and vegetal elements, and an iron surround. Since metal was reserved for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently to make stirrups in Chile. The shape of the present pair, which follows a common typology of the time, seems to have been derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups to protect from water, branches, etc., and the artisanal development carried out mainly by the Jesuits in the area was what led to this type of carving and decoration, which survives to this day.

Oriental barrel-shaped vessel. Porcelain, metal. China, 20th century. With marks on the base (apocryphal, Xangxi). A barrel-shaped vessel with a flat lid, made of white-ground porcelain and decorated with a polychrome figurative composition based on plant motifs and scrolls on the lid, and upper-class figures set in a garden with pavilions, a large censer, a tiger and other animals, etc., on the body, on a frieze of repeated elements and under a double blue line at the top (this last detail also separates the stripes on the lid). Morphologically, it is reminiscent of the Chinese porcelain seats often used in gardens, but note that it has a lid with a metal washer and handles of the same material, elements that are not found on the known seating pieces. Next to these courtiers in the pavilion is a male figure on a water buffalo (a frequent motif in Chinese art, associated with either wise men or peasants or shepherds). The marks on the base, located within a double circular line, resemble those used on Chinese porcelain made during the Kangxi Empire (1662-1722), but are considered apocryphal.

Heraldic shield. Oil on canvas. TORRES, A. Spanish School, 1856. Signed and dated. This work shows a heraldic shield on a blue background with different shades, on an oval framed support. The central (and only) element of the composition consists of a crest with a helmet with gold bars and four feathers, and a quartered shield. Towards the lower right area, there is a signature (A. Torres) and a date (1856). First quarter, cut, with a bird (possibly a sable eagle) with wings displayed and spread over gold, and, below, in green, a gold band crossed between the mouths of two azure serpents (recalling the well-known “band of Castile”), on gules. In the second quarter, twelve eight-pointed gold stars in three columns, on a divided field in sable and silver. In the third, on gules, gold chains around three crossed gold bands. In the fourth, six gold crescents on azure. Around both elements, and joining them, there is a symmetrical composition of architectural elements, plants and scrolls, with a clear classicist influence and with some reminiscence of works from the Spanish Renaissance.
