CRUET SET. SILVER, GLASS. RENÉ-PIERRE FERRIER, PARIS, FRANCE, 1775.

Set of vinegar cruets. Silver and glass. René-Pierre Ferrier, Paris, 1775. With contrast markings. A set of cruets and saltines made of silver and clear glass, comprising two jugs with handles, elongated necks and spouts, and circular bases with faceted exteriors; an oval tray with two stands for the jugs and two more for the stoppers (decorated with leaves and fruit). The tray has four volute-shaped legs, a decoration that is repeated at its ends, and two architectural forms on the longer sides, precisely where the spice rack stands are located. The jug stands feature openwork decoration of architectural motifs framing baskets of grapes, vine leaves, and flowers. The hallmarks on the silver pieces identify it as a work by René-Pierre Ferrier (his hallmark is present), made in Paris between 1775 and 1776 (the crowned M; mark of “Maison Commune”) and with the corresponding taxes paid (the crowned A—this particular mark was used in Paris between 1775 and 1781—and the bull's head—identical to the previous one). René-Pierre Ferrier was a French silversmith whose mark appears to have been used on pieces from 1775, the year he achieved the rank of master. The shape of the tray is reminiscent of other works by the same silversmith dating from the end of the century, with a more pronounced "nave" or "ship" shape. The decorative elements reflect Neoclassicism, a very popular style in France at the time. Similar pieces can be found in some private collections and in institutions such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris (Petit Palais), dated between 1783 and 1784 (inventory PPO2012), or in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Weight: 558 g silver / 1245 g with bottle.

”TRAVELLERS”. OIL ON CANVAS. SIGNED “A. BRIONES”. 20TH CENTURY.

“Gypsies”. Oil on canvas. Signed “A. Briones”. 20th century. Oil on canvas depicting a barely sketched natural landscape in the background, giving prominence to the figures advancing in the foreground. The man on the right carries a staff over his shoulder and several other items, and is accompanied by a bear cub. In the center, a woman walks with a walking stick over her shoulder, leading a horse laden with more objects and some children. The painting depicts a Gypsy family on their way to a performance involving a bear cub. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, artistic representations of Gypsies were stereotypical and scarce, with only a few engravings, tapestries, and paintings such as David Teniers III's "Landscape with Gypsies" in the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The 19th century saw the flourishing of Gypsy motifs in the visual arts, driven by the interest of foreign artists drawn to the "exotic" nature of these people. These artists depicted what they considered their most folkloric features, with Fortuny and Sorolla being particularly noteworthy. This work aims to highlight the unique characteristics of the Roma people, but without dwelling solely on stereotypes, clearly depicting the hardships of their lives and the loneliness that accompanied them. Technically, its connection to innovative contributions to French painting from the late 19th century onward is evident. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a painting movement that emerged in France around the mid-19th century).

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHAPEL. SCULPTURE, WOOD, METAL, GLASS. SECOND HA...

Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. Sculpture, carved wood, glass, metal. Second half of the 18th century. A carved wooden chapel with vase-shaped decoration at the top of the railing and balusters, reminiscent of the Baroque style, features three of its four sides in clear glass and is raised slightly on circular legs. Inside, a gilded background (on the fourth side of the chapel, highlighting a carved and polychrome vegetal composition) and a polychrome sculpture of the Immaculate Conception surrounded by alternating flat, undulating, pointed, and circular rays of light are visible. The sculpture stands on a pedestal and wears a white tunic and a blue mantle; Mary stands on the Orb of Creation, in which a serpent (associated with Sin) appears. The sculpture shows a clear influence of Spanish Baroque models, as well as certain details, such as the pose, that can be linked to Neoclassicism. This blending and the persistence of Baroque influence are common in 18th-century Spanish sculpture.

CASTILLAN WALNUT CHEST. TEXTILE AND WROUGHT IRON. SPAIN, BAROQUE, 17TH...

Castilian chest. Walnut wood, textile and wrought iron. 17th century. A rectangular chest with a flat lid and no legs, decorated with carved moldings along the top and bottom edges and the front, avoiding the front lock. The lock, made of metal and set against a red fabric, features an openwork design of scrolls and other simplified shapes, a decoration also found on the chest's other fittings. Two metal pieces secure the lid to the sides of the front; the handles, typical of this type of chest, are also located on the sides, adorned with an openwork iron design on a fabric background, similar to the other elements. The interior features exposed wood, along with the corresponding fittings (hinges and locking mechanism), and a wooden-lined compartment on one side. The various openwork iron fittings follow a tradition already found on chests at the end of the 16th century (compare this example with the 15th-century Gothic chest in the Valladolid Museum, for instance), but with decorative motifs of Baroque influence: brackets, simplified scrolls, curves, etc. The rectangular shape of this chest, with a flat lid, is also typical of this type of furniture since the Gothic period, showing no characteristic 17th-century influence. It is important to highlight the significance of this style in Spanish furniture, as it persisted until the 19th century, especially in Andalusia, with only slight changes. The most notable of these was the shift from openwork iron decorative elements, as in this example, to the use of gilded brass studs depicting coats of arms, vegetal motifs, and so on. The chest is typical of Castilian models, which are quite different from those of Catalonia, Valencia, and Mallorca. Although it was the most common piece of furniture at the time, not many examples have been preserved: compare with the two 17th-century chests in the Casa de Cervantes Museum (CE 202 without fittings, CE 145 with them) in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid).

WEDDING CHEST. WOOD, TEXTILE, METAL, REMAINDERS OF POLYCHROMY. SALAMAN...

Ark. Carved wood, metal, textile, traces of polychromy. Salamanca area, 17th century. A rectangular chest with a flat lid, carved from wood, retaining traces of its original polychromy, corner pieces, and other metal fittings, as well as textile details in certain areas. The exterior is decorated with a molding along its lower section featuring curved motifs and simple carved vegetal decoration arranged in a rigid symmetry, highlighting a capital inscription on the front (“Viva María / Fernandez”) alluding to the original owner of the piece. The interior is undecorated, with only the hinge fittings and exposed wood. The flat-lidded, rectangular chest was a common model in Spanish art from the Middle Ages onward, its decorative elements varying with the passage of time and changing styles. The metal components of the chest (corner pieces on red fabric, a lock shield on the front, internal hinges, handles on the sides for moving it, etc.) feature a wavy and finial decoration reminiscent of Baroque designs, as well as columns (flanking the keyhole). The carved decoration on the front (simplified flowers, stems, leaves, and perched birds, with simple polychromy in three colors—red, green, and yellow) is not particularly refined (a common feature in folk examples) and follows a composition and color scheme typical of folk chests from the Salamanca area. Walnut was commonly used in its construction (as with all Spanish furniture, due to the wood's durability and abundance at the time). Adding a feminine name in capital letters on the front (a detail that would indicate that the present piece of furniture is a chest made to store a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration on a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element to highlight in the present piece of furniture. A similar model is mentioned in one of the most frequently used reference books on Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. El mueble español en los siglos XV, XVI y XVII. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; plate 74; A beautiful example of a bridal chest or ark, in the popular Spanish style of the 17th century, with rudimentary carvings forming a series of stems, flowers, and animals. It is polychrome and bears the name of its owner in the center: 'Viva María Hernández'. .
