Framed miniature. The miniature depicts a young woman talking to an older man in a garden that is only alluded to by a flowering branch that could be an almond or cherry tree. The influence of the ancient Arab miniature is clear in this work, but there is also an idealization that can be related to the taste for the exotic that flooded art in the 19th century and that was reflected in works with themes of landscapes and scenes considered typical of the Arab world by Europe.

Bronze table lamp in the shape of a rectangular cup. Without shade. A base on four legs formed by inward-turned volutes ensures the stability of the lamp, whose foot is shaped like a rectangular cup: a round base gives way to several concave sections separated by circular mouldings, after which comes the cup (with chamfered corners) and which ends in more concave mouldings. The movement that all this brings to the work makes it an interesting decorative element, as well as highlighting the material from which it has been created.

Centerpiece in bronze and glass. Lost wax bronde casting. It is cup-shaped, with a base made from four bamboo canes joined together with a cord and decorated with flowers and leaves, a transparent glass container and two handles with leaves curved inwards. Although the shape corresponds to a very old prototype of table centrepieces, the prominence of the plants and the presence of bamboo brings the work closer to more recent approaches related to Romanticism and the 19th century.

Enameled porcelain figurine. “Young couple on a rocking chair”. Inspired by models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres. The rocking chair is made up of a crossbar on a stump, and at the top of it a young woman appears seated thanks to a young gentleman on the other side who lowers the wooden beam. The clothing resembles peasant clothes from the 18th century, but in a highly idealised form. The high quality of the enamelling, the magnificent modelling of the work and the bucolic theme of couples relate the work to Rococo examples from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France).
