Polychrome and gilded wood frame. Late 18th century. Rectangular frame with golden rocailles on a red background and elements related to the Passion of Christ in shields in the corners and centre of the longer sides: dice, nails, bag (with Judas' coins), mallet and tongs, cross with lances and two whips. These motifs clearly show that it was made to highlight a religious painting of the Passion, probably in a private chapel given the lack of relief, and the strong relationship of the work with the Rococo.

Oval carved white marble plaque. “Children from the procession of Dionysus”. The three children are seated on a meadow. One holds a branch with bunches of grapes and vine leaves; the second puts an arm around his shoulder and holds a cup; the third joins his hands while looking at his companions. Because of the objects they carry, they can be related to the procession that accompanies the god Dionysus, also known as Bacchus. This type of theme, taken from classical mythology but not belonging to the main themes, was widely used in art from the 18th century onwards, especially.

Cup on column in black marble Both the profiles of the cup and the column, very similar to the Doric order, show a marked influence of examples from classical antiquity, more of the Roman order due to its freedom in combining certain elements and proportions than of the Greek order, which was more rigid with architectural norms. This type of work was widely used since the Renaissance in the decoration of the interiors of palaces and outstanding gardens.

Double-cup fountain in height. Carved marble. A circular, fluted base is placed on a pedestal, on which the largest bowl of the fountain rests, decorated, like the smaller one, with simplified volutes. Between them, a vase has a scalloped lower half and a smooth upper half. The top shows a large, fluted pearl. Although the fountain is an element that was already used in Babylonian gardens, the present work is more closely related to Baroque models due to its structure and to more contemporary ones due to its lines.

Pair of table legs in carved travertine. Both are identical, and have been decorated with symmetrically arranged fleshy leaves, which are more reminiscent of tropical examples than of classically inspired acanthus. The prominence of the natural element in the work is close to aesthetic approaches that appeared in art from the 19th century onwards. Travertine or travertine marble is a sedimentary rock widely used for interior and exterior decoration since the Roman Empire.

Pair of silver tasting glasses. 1739. (Along with Ref. z5831) No hallmarks. With inscription on the front. Both identical, each one is made up of a circular bowl with a smooth mouth and a smaller diameter bottom decorated with two S-shaped handles and an inscription on the outer rim that reads: “I am from the noble council of Santiux, to which our neighbor Jul de las Cuevas Zeballos presented us in the year 1739.” Baroque tendencies continued in Spanish silversmithing for almost the first two-thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already being introduced without displacing the earlier ones. It wasn't until 1740 that French silversmiths introduced these innovations to Madrid, which slowly spread to other centers, depending on the region and master. This survival of 17th-century forms can be seen in the handles of the wobbler: the human-headed grotesques are highlighted by vibrant plant motifs, a decorative abundance that contrasts with the clean lines of the rest of the work but is common in this type of work. The lack of hallmarks makes it impossible to locate the work or the artist, although this is precisely what speaks in favor of a secondary silversmith center, where the lack of control over these works was more common due to the lack of masters and resources to ensure compliance with hallmarking regulations. Throughout the first two thirds of the 18th century, the somewhat monotonous nature of the centers of Old Castile (to which Cantabria belonged), León, and Galicia was noticeable compared to the importance of Valladolid and Salamanca, so they may have been made in the Cantabrian area. The inscription clarifies the purpose of the quaking stones: they were a gift to the Council of Santiurde de Reinosa (Cantabria) from Juan de las Cuevas Ceballos, a native of this town and resident of El Puerto de Santa María de Cádiz, who also proved his nobility in 1733 before the Court of the Hijosdalgo of the Royal Chancery of Valladolid. These are therefore two pieces made for civil use, a detail that increases their importance due to the scarcity of this type of work.
