Cylindrical “turner's test” box, 17th-18th century. Cylindrical box decorated with different bands and lid with a carved star. The base presents a series of inscriptions that allude to the purpose for which it was created: these types of pieces were tests of mastery of turner apprentices, which they had to take to pass certain exams within the guild to which they belonged. Not many of these works are preserved because they are more practical than decorative and not commissioned by a client, but their interest is undeniable for this very reason.

“Catavinos” or bernegal. Silver. Twentieth century. Container of the type known as “tembladera” with two circular handles decorated with very simplified plant elements and a ribbed body reminiscent of the pieces called “de morsels”.

Acetre. Bronze. Century XVI. Bronze piece that has a circular foot, and a circular body, with a mouth that extends outwards at the top, and a decoration in relief in this last area of masks that are reminiscent of certain Renaissance pieces with Medusa (the rings for the handle arise from two of these elements). This acetre, a vessel for holy water also known as a situla, is a piece that, in this religious context, appeared in the West in the Middle Ages. The present example is inspired by Renaissance pieces both in its lines and in its decoration and, therefore, is also reminiscent of works from Ancient Rome (situla of the Landesmuseum in Hannover, etc.).

Knocker. Wrought iron. Century XVI. Door knocker made of wrought iron and made up of several pieces, among which the main one stands out. This has two bands that begin in parallel and then separate and form two facing volutes joined in this area by a rectangular piece, also showing several engraved lines that highlight these elements. The use of scrolls in forging was common since the Romanesque period, and we can speak of an evolution in this element with the passage of time. This example belongs due to its shape to a type of handle or knocker known as “scissor”.

Devotional medal of Saint Nicholas on support. Gilded bronze, textile, metal. Century XVIII. Devotional gilt bronze medal placed on a wire support that presents an oval frame enhanced with a cape with plant elements in a symmetrical composition and another finish below also with plant elements and scrolls, and the figure of a saint inside that smooth frame. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical attire, accompanied by small figures praying, placed in a barrel or bucket. Saint Nicholas of Myra or Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. C. One of his best-known miracles was that of resurrecting three children (shown in this work) sacrificed by a hotelier or innkeeper to feed his clients. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here in liturgical vestments but without the usual headdress of distinction (mitre). The three spheres that appear on the book would allude to the miracle in which the saint helps the father of three girls to collect a dowry for them (as they are three golden spheres).

Sculpture. Bronze. Signed and numbered (1/6). VEIGA, Fernando (Madrid, 1943). Female sculpture located on a dark stone base that shows a young woman kneeling up and without her arms (recalling the Venus de Milo, for example, and adding the detail of showing the young lady with a face of the sculpture and larger on the other, in clear contrast), totally naked and with a treatment that brings it closer to innovations contributed by various artistic avant-garde of the 20th century. Fernando Veiga (Madrid, 1943) is a Spanish sculptor closely linked to the North American avant-garde, whom he knows from his stays in New York, along with fine modeling, present in some of his pieces, more linked to the realist tradition that began in Greece and Rome in Antiquity, can be seen in traditional Spanish imagery and is still valid today in some masters. He has exhibited his work in Spain on numerous occasions (Madrid, etc.).
