Rectangular frame with a semicircular finish in the center of the upper part, crowned by a composition with leaves and elements of the Passion of Christ (Crown of Thorns, Nails...) decorated by a series of bands, alternating smooth ones with two different strings of pearls each other.

PAIR OF STIRRUPS. CARVED WOOD, IRON. CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA, 18TH CENTUR...

Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. Pair of stirrups composed of a carved wooden block, in the shape of a half-moon at the front, and decorated on the outside with geometric and vegetal elements, and a surrounding piece of iron. By reserving metal for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently to make stirrups in Chile. The shape of the present pair, which follows a common typology of the time, seems to have been derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups for protection from water, branches, etc., being the artisanal development exercised above all by the Jesuits in the area which led to this type of carvings and ornaments, which survive to this day.

BIRD. BRONZE, METAL. BARÓN MOLINA, FRANCISCO (MADRID, 1931-2006).

Bird. Bronze, metal. BARÓN MOLINA, Francisco (Madrid, 1931 – 2006). Signed (side and figure) and numbered (6/75). On a base of outstanding size (compared to that of the figure) a bronze piece is placed into which another is fitted. This pedestal has two sides engraved with figurative elements (a bird on a woman's head on the front; a male figure on the side, where the signature and justification or numbering have also been engraved). On the back, in the area of the base of the fixed figure, are the name of the author and, again, the numbering (6/75). Francisco Barón Molina was a sculptor and painter trained first at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts, where he had Laviada and Ortells as teachers, and later in London and New York thanks to several scholarships. In 1960 and 1961 he was recognized at the New England Art Festival (First Prize), and in 1965, two years after returning permanently to Spain, he participated in the New York International Fair and obtained a scholarship from the March Foundation. Throughout his career Barón showed his work throughout Spain, as well as in Europe, Latin America, the United States and Africa, and was awarded the Valladolid Sculpture Prize (1983), the Art and Culture Prize of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Madrid (1965), the gold medal at the Exhibition of Minipaintings at the Círculo 2 gallery in Madrid and the Mojácar Prize. His work is preserved in private collections and in institutions such as the Alcalá de Henares Open Air Sculpture Museum. Weight: 400 grams.

”FRAILERO” CHAIR. WOOD, LEATHER. SPAIN, 16TH CENTURY.

Friar armchair. Leather, walnut wood. Spain, 16th century. It has faults. Armchair with arms and high back of the type known as “frailero”, which has leather with studs in the upper part of the back (missing in the seat), low cut-out profile chambranes joining the front legs with the rear ones and middle chambranes or stringers (the front one is carved and cut out, creating geometric motifs) joining the two front legs and the two rear ones, and simple armrests, with highlighted volute finishes. The friar armchair, initially of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist current of the 19th century. Being a tradition so deeply rooted in Spain, these types of models have never stopped being created.

METAL AND GLASS CLARET JUG OR PITCHER. POSSIBLY WMF, GERMANY. CIRCA 19...

Jug. Glass, silver metal. Possibly WMF, Germany. Around 1900. With contrast markings (handle). Jug with a transparent glass body decorated with geometric elements, a circular base, a globulated body and a high cylindrical neck, which features an ornament with a “ce” handle on the top in silver metal. This has a decoration of architectural and plant elements of a marked classicist and Renaissance character, in addition to having a protome with horse's front legs next to the upper edge of the lid of the jar. The marks, present on the outer edge of the handle, would surely link the piece to the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik or WMF. In 1853, Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers established a metalware factory called Straub & Schweizer, which already achieved recognition at the London Exhibition in 1862 and established the first shop in Berlin in 1868. In 1880 they merged with Metallwarenfabrik Ritter & Co., forming the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), which continues to operate today. Weight: 0.9kg.

COFFEE SET. PORCELAIN. ROYAL VIENNA, AUSTRIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY.

Coffee set. Enameled porcelain. Royal Vienna, Austria, early 20th century. With marks on the base of pieces. Two broken cups. Enameled porcelain coffee set consisting of a tray, six cups with their plates, sugar bowl with lid and jug with lid. Although the classicist influence on the piece is clear (golden garlands, shapes, plant elements, colors, etc.), it is necessary to indicate the inspiration for the tray in the oil painting by George Sheridan Knowles painted in 1908 and titled “Summer Pleasures on The "River." Royal Vienna is known as a certain style of porcelain related to the porcelain made in Vienna (Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique) founded in 1718 by Claude du Paquier, an official of the imperial court of Vienna. It was closed in 1864, but its name was recovered by the Vienna Augarten Porcelain Factory in 1923.
