JACKET AND TROUSERS, SOVEREIGN MILITARY ORDER OF MALTA. SPAIN, POSSIBL...

Honorary Uniform, Order of Malta. Spain, possibly around the beginning of the 20th century. Blue jacket or coat and trousers, the first of which bears the label of the Félix del Hierro tailor shop, which was located on Barquillo Street in Madrid (Spain) and had another location on Almirante Street in the same city. It is known to have been in operation until at least 1946. The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta (SMOM), known simply as the Order of Malta or Knights Hospitaller, was recognised by Pope Paschal II in 1113. After having provisional headquarters in Messina, Catania and Ferrara, the Order was finally established in Rome in 1834. During the 20th century, the Order refocused on its mission of hospital care.

AUTOGRAPH AND PHOTOGRAPH. VASLAV NIYINSKY, 1914.

Photograph and signature. Vaslav Niyinsky (kyiv, 1890-London, 1950), 1914. Vaslav Niyinsky (transliterated Vátslav Fomich Nizhinski) was a Polish-born Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, considered one of the most gifted in history, notable above all for his meeting with Sergei Diaghilev, a member of the St. Petersburg elite and an important patron of the arts, who promoted Russian visual and musical art abroad, particularly in Paris. During the First World War, Nijinsky was placed under house arrest in Hungary for being a Russian citizen. Diaghilev managed to get Nijinsky out of the country thanks to the intervention of Alfonso XIII and his Oficina Pro Cautivos (Office for the Protection of Prisoners). The signature is accompanied by a photograph of the employees, which were used as business cards at the time (cabinet photograph), and is dated 1914.

PAIR OF LOUIS 18TH CANDELABRA. BRONZE. FRANCE, CIRCA 1800.

Pair of Louis XVIII candlesticks. Bronze (blued and gilded). France, circa 1800. A pair of six-light candelabra made of bronze, of a type commonly known as "tripod" due to its shape. A base with three projections, situated on inverted truncated pyramidal architectural elements with reliefs and medallions on their outer faces, supports three seated sphinxes in burnished bronze with gilded tails. From their backs rise three stems, each ending in a child's head with butterfly wings, decorated with candelabra in relief and secured by an openwork band (note the spiral bouquet inside). From the heads rises a circular form with projections, upon which rests the candelabra's central axis, surmounted by a pomegranate on a floral composition. The candelabra arms, ending in wicks, feature delicate scrolls and rooster heads. Note the changing textures of the material and the great detail present in the architectural, vegetal, and figurative elements. The design of these vase-shaped candelabra was enormously successful, and numerous variations with slight modifications were subsequently created, including sphinxes and goat heads. On April 16, 1787, François Rémond (c. 1747–1812) supplied Daguerre with eight “girandoles en tripied” (as they were often known in documents), identified by some experts as the eight candelabra of this model purchased from Daguerre by George, Prince of Wales, later King George IV, for Carlton House. The larger, ten-light model, featuring a vase and rooster heads, was created around 1786. A pair of candelabra of this model are recorded in the 1836 inventory of Legendre de Lucay's collection, and another pair is known to have been commissioned for Marie Antoinette's Salon des Nobles at Versailles. Compare the present example with the griffin candelabrum dated around 1785 in the Musée Nissim Camondo (Paris, France); or with the sphinx and stone vase candelabrum attributed to Francçois Rémond (dated between 1783 and 1786) in The Wallace Collection; or (with less similarity at the base) the late 18th-century pair attributed to Pierre Gouthière in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, and, in the same room, another pair by Pierre Gouthière, with reclining sphinxes and a stone vase in the center of the two three-light candelabras.

GLASS AND BRONZE CHANDELIER. 19TH CENTURY.

Ceiling lamp with thirty lights. Bronze, glass. 19th century. A chandelier or ceiling lamp with a total of thirty lights and their corresponding glass saucers, reminiscent of the days when candles were used, and a gilt-bronze structure with arms decorated with scrolls and curved lines, on which clear glass pieces are placed along the central axis. A series of chains with polygonal beads, rectangular pieces, and others with particular shapes, upturned points, etc. adorn the different levels on which the lamp is structured. The variety of shapes and the quality of the colorless glass are worth highlighting. The profiles of some beads (teardrops, polygons, pendants) are found in both Bohemian and French works, and in most from the Royal Glass and Crystal Factory of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia, Spain) due to their great popularity. Stars or florets are considerably rarer in the surviving examples, and, according to experts, are more often found in the French school (and in the Spanish school due to the latter's influence). The mastery of the carving is evident in the profiles and the fine modeling of the shaft. The decorative bronze elements clearly show Neoclassical influences, and the beaded and other glasswork is more reminiscent of the so-called "Maria Theresa lamps," based on those commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa for her coronation in factories in the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic in 1743. This typology spread rapidly throughout Europe, varying in design and serving as an example in major glass factories to this day. They clearly differ from the work done in Murano (Italy), but the chandelier follows a tradition that has its roots in Bohemia and continued in France, where as much attention was paid to gilded bronze as to glass. Similar lamps can still be found in prominent residences such as the Fernán Núñez Palace (Madrid), the Viana Palace (Córdoba), the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid), the Paz Palace (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the Louvre Museum (Paris), and others.

MARQUETRY AND BRONZE SHOWCASE. FRENCH SCHOOL, 19TH CENTURY.

Louis XVI style display case. Wood, gilt bronze, etc. French School, 19th century. A wooden display case decorated with marquetry plaques with figurative motifs in the lower area and gilt bronze appliqués. It has three glass fronts that reveal the interior. It is upholstered in red textile and has two glass shelves. These marquetry scenes depict figures in landscapes, reminiscent of oriental works. The bronze appliqués and the "bombé" shape of the lower area demonstrate Rococo influences. The Louis XVI style is considered, in France, a movement within Neoclassicism and spans from around 1760 to around 1789 (although works inspired by it would be created in the 19th century). It was succeeded by the Directoire style. It is characterized by its influences from Ancient Rome and Enlightenment thought. In the French school, the style that presents Rococo influences is known as Louis XV, and it also inspires works in the 19th century, which receive the same name.

TRITONS AND NEREIDS. PAINTING, GLASS. POSSIBLY ITALIAN SCHOOL, LATE 16...

Tritons defending Nereids. Oil on glass (reverse). Possibly Italian school (perhaps Naples), late 16th-17th century. Framed glass plate with a painting, probably an oil painting, beneath it. A landscape can be seen in the background and a series of figures in the foreground, from the waist up. A man is holding two women on the right, while, on the left, two semi-nude male figures appear attacking a sea monster (very similar to those inspired by ancient Roman works, common in painting since the Renaissance). It is first necessary to differentiate between two painting techniques that employ glass: one that uses it as a base, such as a canvas, and the other, in which the glass sits "above" the paint, with the latter applied "beneath" and inversely. This work belongs to the second method, highly prized in cabinetmaking for decorating chests, wastepaper baskets, etc., and for its similarity to enamel. It should also be remembered that glass painting was especially appreciated by the upper class between the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Ferdinand de' Medici, for example, included glass paintings by Luca Giordano in his collection in 1702. Followers of this master specialized in these years in decorating important furniture with painting under glass. In 1679, for example, Giovanni Battista Tara was paid for having created "a pair of ebony writers' tables inlaid with different paintings on glass," while Carlo Garofalo, a student of Luca Giordano and considered the best glass painter active in Naples in the second half of the 17th century, was called by Charles II of Spain to paint glass for chests and other decorations in prominent royal salons; again, Domenico Coscia is mentioned in documents as a painter "who made those glass pieces very well, which were used by writers." The list of Neapolitan painters who were disciples of Giordano, remembered for their painting on glass, can also be enriched with many other names, such as Domenico Perrone, Francesco della Torre, or Andrea Vincenti.

FOUR MOMENTS OF THE DAY. OIL ON CANVAS. MANUEL BARRÓN, SPAIN, 19TH CEN...

Four Moments of the Day, Seville. Oil on canvas. Barrón y Carrillo, Manuel. 19th century. Signed (bottom right). Labels on the back. Manuel Barrón y Carrillo (Seville, 1814-1884) was a Spanish painter considered the representative of Romantic landscape painting and Andalusian costumbrismo. He trained with Antonio Cabral Bejarano and at the School of Fine Arts in Seville (where he eventually became a teacher and director). He was one of the founders of the Liceo Artístico de Sevilla (1838) and a member of the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País (Economic Society of Friends of the Country) in that city, as well as a member of the Academy of Santa Isabel de Hungría. It is known that he already presented works at the Liceo and the Sociedad Económica de Sevilla exhibitions in 1838, although his first known work is dated 1852. He devoted himself primarily to landscapes, although his costumbrista paintings (especially those dedicated to everyday life in Seville), still lifes, and portraits are also highly valued. His paintings are held in several private collections and in institutions such as the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, the National Museum of Romanticism (Madrid, Spain), the Carmen Thyssen Museum in Malaga, and others. These four landscapes are a good example of what is common and often highlighted in this painter's work. Compare one of the paintings with the View of the Guadalquivir painted in 1854 in the Carmen Thyssen Museum in Málaga (inventory CTB.2002.18), which has a very similar composition to the present one, even down to the figures depicted. The Museum of Fine Arts in Seville also has a pair of vertical landscapes dated 1854 by the same master, titled Sunset (inventory DJ1306P) and Dawn (DJ1307P).

WROUGHT IRON LOCK. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY.

Lock. Wrought iron. Spanish School, 17th century. A working wrought iron deadbolt with a key features a push-button mechanism on the lower right side to lift the cover concealing the keyhole. The key is opened in two steps by inserting the key. The key features a decoration of moldings and pearls, along with a tribolulated ring. The deadbolt features a series of elements on the outer edge, influenced by architecture and arranged symmetrically and balanced, following classicist motifs. The bar consists of a tubular section and a flat section (at one point, another decoration similar to that of the deadbolt appears). Also noteworthy is the heraldic shield-shaped section with a closed crown in the lock's escutcheon area. Compare this work with, for example, the lock shields of ancient Spanish chests such as those preserved in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), with locks from churches, convents and other important ancient institutions (the bolt of El Escorial in the Museum of Royal Collections of National Heritage in Madrid, the doors of the Hospital of the Third Order in Madrid, etc.), or pieces such as the 17th-century Sevillian bolt from the collection of the Museo Español de Antigüedades, now preserved in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional (inventory 52014).
