Desk. Mahogany wood. 19th century. A rectangular tabletop decorated with a band of vegetal motifs along the outer edge, its waistline enhanced with bands carved with egg-and-dart motifs and vegetal designs of classical influence, and legs decorated with an elegant cabriole shape and carved motifs (scrolls, bows, and simple vegetal themes extending along the waistline of the piece) topped with highly simplified claw-like shapes holding balls. This finial on the legs also appears in Chippendale examples and American works and, apparently, was a motif inspired by Far Eastern works, replacing the dragon's paw with the sphere with a lion's paw (thus demonstrating English supremacy) and becoming very popular in England during approximately the first half of the 18th century, before being revived later.

Jar from Villafeliche, Aragon, 18th century. Glazed ceramic. A late Baroque-style ceramic jug decorated with high-temperature glazes on a white tin slip. These glazed motifs are combined with molded relief decorations. The piece's typology blends the Italian style, with its ovoid body and vertical arched handle, with the typically Spanish spouted jug, characterized by its protruding spout extending from the mouth. The decorations reveal an Eastern influence, with large, asymmetrically arranged floral bouquets and complex landscapes featuring architecture and palm trees, some of which are distinctly Western in style. The motifs are brushed with manganese black and colored primarily with ochre, blue, green, and red glazes. Aragonese ceramics from the 17th to the 19th centuries were characterized by a strong, distinctive style, combined with influences from Talavera and Catalonia. There were three main centers: Teruel, Muel, and Villafeliche. The first two had a tradition dating back to the 16th century, while the third was established at the end of the 17th century. The pottery from Villafeliche was generally very popular, although pieces of greater quality and complexity, both typologically and ornamentally, were also produced there in the 18th century.
