CHRIST WITH AN ANGEL. OIL ON CANVAS. 18TH CENTURY.

Christ with Angel. Oil on canvas. 18th century. The painting depicts Christ, clothed, supported by the shoulders or back by an angel, both figures situated in an indeterminate space, accompanied by various symbols of the Passion (cross, chalice). The theme of the dead Christ supported by an angel has been treated several times in art (Antonello da Messina in the 15th century, Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina, Alonso Cano, Jacob Backer the Elder, etc.), with the particularity that, following the text that inspired it, Jesus appears with the loincloth and not fully clothed as in this work.

NORTONMOTORCYCLE, ES2 500CC, CIRCA 1948.

Norton motorcycle, model ES2 500 CC, circa 1948 Incomplete documentation; it has a circulation permit from 1958 and 1980. Norton, or Norton Motorcycles, is a British motorcycle brand founded in 1898 that ceased production in the 1990s and restarted operations in 2008. The company was acquired in 1952 by Associated Motor Cycles, becoming part of the Norton-Villiers group in 1966, and in 1972 it was integrated into the Norton-Villiers-Triumph group, after the liquidation of BSA (former owner of Triumph). Designed by Walter Moore, the Norton CS1 engine appeared in 1927, based largely on the ES2 pushrod engine and using many of its parts. Moore was hired by NSU in 1930, after which Arthur Carroll designed an entirely new OHC engine intended to become the basis for all subsequent Norton OHC and DOHC single-engine engines. (Moore's move to NSU prompted his former staff to joke that NSU stood for "Norton Spares Used.") Norton's racing legend began in the 1930s. Of the nine Isle of Man Senior TT (500cc) races held between 1931 and 1939, Norton won seven. After World War II, Norton returned to civilian motorcycle production, gradually expanding its range. A significant addition in 1949 was the twin-cylinder Model 7, known as the Norton Dominator, a 500cc pushrod twin designed by Bert Hopwood. Its frame was derived from the single-cylinder ES2, with telescopic front and plunger rear suspension, and an updated version of the gearbox known as the "lay-down" gearbox. More stylish fenders and tanks completed the modern styling of Norton's new premium twin-cylinder model.

MOTO GUZZI, GRAND TOURER 1931..

GUZZI motorcycle, Grand Tourer (GT) 16, 500 (498) cc, 1931. No documentation is available. It requires restoration. The engine turns (it is not seized). Moto Guzzi (also known simply as Guzzi in Italy) is the name of a famous and legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer, founded on March 15, 1921, by Carlo Guzzi, Giorgio Parodi, and mechanic Giovanni Ravelli. Over time, the company has been controlled by various entities, and in 2004, it became part of the Piaggio Group. In 2005, Daniele Bandiera was appointed CEO of Moto Guzzi SpA. According to the founders' plans, Moto Guzzi gained recognition through victories in Grand Prix motorcycle races. In 1935, they competed in a race on the Isle of Man, winning both the Senior TT (500cc motorcycles) and Lightweight (350cc motorcycles) categories. In both cases, the rider was Stanley Woods, who until the previous year had ridden for Husqvarna. Until the mid-1940s, the traditional 500cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine was the highest-performing engine sold to the public. In 1927, Giuseppe Guzzi designed a prototype derived from the sports model, which he called the Grand Tourer (GT). He personally undertook a 6,000 km journey to North Cape (CT 500) in the summer of 1928, generating excellent publicity for the company. The GT 16 (498 cc) was introduced in 1931, with an engine and chassis derived from the Sport 15, and 754 were produced.

Double-leaf door in carved walnut and pine wood. Requires restoration. Both leaves feature decoration based on geometric elements framed in moldings. The frame stands out for the movement and prominence of its moldings: the semicircles in the centers of the sides and the widening of the corners are reminiscent of Baroque designs. This type of decorative element was used in important houses and was frequently replaced once new stylistic trends took hold, which is why it is not commonly found in surviving examples.
