Folding mahogany side table in the George II style, USA (America), circa 1860. A tripod with animal claws gripping a ball serves as the base for the furniture's foot, adorned with a small fluted column and a bulbous plant. The folding mechanism is located above this foot, and the top surface is round with a curved profile flanked by straight sections. American furniture owes much to English design, as this example demonstrates: it follows the so-called George II style, named after the monarch during whose reign it was created (he was born in 1683 and died in 1760), and is based on models taken from Renaissance Roman architecture.

Cornucopia with prominent crest in carved and gilded wood, 18th century. A cornucopia with a rectangular mirror inside, its frame adorned with simple moldings (some concave, some straight, and some convex) without exaggerated movement, and on the outside, delicate garlands of flowers. The prominent upper crest stands out, composed of rocaille, curved moldings, flowers, and a vase. This work is of great interest because, while the simple lines mentioned above are more characteristic of the Neoclassical style, other elements (rocaille, concave and convex moldings, movement, decorative exuberance, etc.) are characteristic of the Rococo style. Both artistic styles coexisted in 18th-century Spain. It requires cleaning and minor restorations.

Walnut wood wing table with claw legs, 19th century. The rectangular table, supported by four eagle-like legs grasping balls, features a drawer and two folding tabletops (from which this type of table derives its name). The piece's decorative simplicity stems from its design as a primarily functional piece of furniture, although it displays the characteristic use of decorative elements from various traditions, a common feature in 19th-century art. The legs are very common in 18th-century English examples ("claw and ball" with cabriole legs), and the wood used is the most typical for Spanish furniture.

Octagonal tabletop decorated with work in hard stones. Octagonal tabletop in dark stone decorated with "hardstone work" forming a series of stars in the central area and an elaborate band of flowers towards the outside, in an area separated from the center by two light lines. It was made using a technique similar to marquetry, employing marbles and hard stones (over 7 on the Mohs scale) to create these designs. This technique originated in Italy during the Renaissance and was developed throughout Europe only in a few important workshops.

Cylindrical box for “turner’s test”, 17th-18th century. A cylindrical box decorated with various bands and a lid with a carved star. The base bears a series of inscriptions that allude to its purpose: these types of pieces served as demonstrations of mastery by apprentice woodturners, required to pass certain examinations within their guild. Few of these works survive because they were more practical than decorative and were not commissioned by a client, but their significance is undeniable for this very reason.

Lost-wax bronze casting. Model by Auguste Moreau. Patinated bronze sculpture of two children together, the boy holding flowers. This piece follows the designs of Auguste Moreau (1834-1917), a renowned French sculptor known especially for his delicate and naturalistic works within the Art Nouveau movement, of which he was a leading figure. He created busts, figures, and small sculptures, and his designs were subsequently adopted by many other bronze casters due to the artist's success and the quality of his pieces.

Weight of the 18th century. Bronze. Bronze weight, incomplete, with the container vessel and two of the smaller ones, all cold decorated with incised and stamped motifs, simple edges on the small vessels and more complex borders on the container vessel. Nested cup weights are a set of cup-shaped weights that fit precisely inside one another. A complete set is one that retains all its original cups. The largest, called the keeper, consists of a lid with a handle and clasp, and weighs exactly the same as the sum of all the others. The second largest weighs half as much as the keeper, and the same as the sum of the rest. This proportionality is maintained until the last weight, called the disc or last piece, which is usually solid and closes the set. This principle remained unchanged until the introduction of the metric system.
