SILVER PYX OR PIX. PALENCIA, SPAIN. PEDRO DE PALACIOS, CIRCA 1530.

Pyx. Silver. Palencia, Spain. Pedro de Palacios, hallmark Juan de Peso, circa 1530. With contrast and engraving marks. A circular box with a pointed lid, made of silver in its natural color and gilded, decorated on the exterior with a series of slanted segments or waves on the body and lid, and moldings with concatenations of pearls. The piece is topped by a sphere divided in two by a band of small lines. The interior is gilded. Typologically, it follows a very common model for pyxes in 16th-century Spanish silversmithing. Compare, for example, with the one dated to the third third of the 16th century (inventory 2165) in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid (Spain), which also has spirals on the lid and a cruciform finial that the present example does not have; or several examples in the Diocesan Museum of Pamplona Cathedral; or an example with vertical drawers in the lid in the Museum of Sacred Art of Bilbao (Eleiz Museoa; inventory 0578) by Izangabea, dated between 1525 and 1530. At the base are the engraving mark and the hallmarks of the town and silversmith. One is the town mark, referring to Palencia (Spain). Another, with letters beneath a scale, is that of the assayer Juan de Peso, who worked from 1526 to 1532 (experts suggest that the triple hallmarking began in 1528). The third is that of the silversmith Pedro de Palacios (elected city assayer in 1532). Similar marks appear on the reliquary arm of Saint Lawrence in Santoyo, a work by Pedro de Palacios dated between 1528 and 1532, or, according to other experts, around 1526. Weight: 217 grams.

SILVER PLATE. SANTANDER, SPAIN, 18TH CENTURY

Salvilla. Silver. Santander, Spain, late 18th century. With contrast markings. A silver serving platter in its natural color, with legs formed by architectural elements combined with vegetal motifs (both of classical inspiration), and a top plate with a profile of mitered curves that translate into sharp edges at the rim, which is enhanced with several smooth moldings. Stylistically, the piece corresponds to a very common fashion in Spanish silverware of the second half of the 18th century. The hallmark depicting the tower and sailing ship belongs to the city of Santander, where a silversmith with a mark reading "SALMON" worked as a true assayer. Very little information about this silversmith is available. A writing set by Salvador Seco, dated between 1800 and 1820, is preserved in the National Museum of Decorative Arts (inventory CE19536) bearing the same hallmark. The other hallmark likely corresponds to that of the silversmith J. Feixoo, active in the last third of the 18th century (whom some experts consider a true assayer). Weight: 844 grams.

DIANA OF GABII. BRONZE, MARBLE. RAINGO FRÈRES, FRANCE, CIRCA SECOND HA...

Diana of Gabies. Bronze, marble. Raingo Frères, France, circa second half of the 19th century. Signed on the base. A bronze figure on a stone base depicts a lady wearing sandals, adjusting a draped garment (called a chiton), and raising her arms to fasten a brooch. Her wavy hair is gathered high with a ribbon. The inscription “Raingo Fres.” can be seen on the bronze base, indicating the foundry that produced it. The work is inspired by a marble sculpture also known as the Artemis of Gabii, as it may represent this goddess. It was discovered in Gabii (near Rome, Italy) by Gavin Hamilton (Lanarkshire, 1723–Rome, 1798) on land belonging to Prince Borghese, who sold it to Napoleon in 1807. From that moment on, it became part of the collections of the Louvre Museum in Paris (inventory Ma. 529). The original is attributed to Praxiteles (although there is some doubt about this today). Raingo Frères was founded in 1823 by the four sons of the Belgian watchmaker and metalworker Zacharie Raingo (who moved to Paris in 1813): Adolphe, Charles, Denis, and Dorsant. Established as an industrial and commercial enterprise, the company quickly gained renown for its bronze work, in addition to its reputation as a watchmaker. It created pieces for a number of nobles and royalty, including the Duke of Chartres, King George V of England, and Emperor Napoleon III of France. They exhibited their work at the International Exhibitions in Paris in 1867, 1878, and 1889, winning several awards. Works from this house are held in prominent private collections and institutions such as the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid, Spain), the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), and the Royal Collection Trust.

SILVER PLATE. SALAMANCA, SPAIN, THIRD THIRD 18TH CENTURY.

Salvilla. Silver. Salamanca, 1759 With contrast markings. Silver salve in its natural color with a plate featuring a mitered curved profile that translates into edges on the rim, which has a series of fine moldings, and three claw-shaped legs, each with a bracelet in the ankle joint area and finished to resemble animal skin. The hallmarks present place the piece in Salamanca during the period when Juan Montero (whose mark was used from 1759) was an authentic assayer, and it is attributed to a silversmith (FZ). Juan Ignacio Montero was a silversmith and assayer, and the hallmark seen here appears to date from surviving works dated between 1759 and 1779, such as a reliquary in the Parish Church of San Lorenzo in Segovia (by Manuel Cardeñosa, dated 1767). It is known that he held the position of assayer in Salamanca between 1758 and 1781 and remained active until 1779. He used a hallmark that included dates, although sometimes the same mark was used in several years. Regarding the silversmith, experts suggest that the mark could belong to Antonio Fernández Clemente (c. 1708-1766) or his son of the same name. Interestingly, three similar examples of this particular type of salver (named for the claws on which it rests) are known: one with marks by Juan Montero, made by C. Aillón (reproduced in Enciclopedia de la plata española y virreinal americana, Asociación Española de Joyeros, Plateros y Relojeros, 1984; Pages 200 and 398 –illustration 1058–) and another, also from the 18th century, held in a private collection.

SILVER PLATE. VALLADOLID, SPAIN. ANTONIO AMPUDIA, 1791.

Salvilla. Silver. Valladolid, Spain, Antonio Ampudia, 1791. With contrast and engraving marks. Silver-colored salver with legs and a top plate featuring a mitered curved profile that creates sharp edges at the rim. It displays contrasting and engraved marks. The hallmarks on the coins correspond to that of Valladolid Corte, to the hallmark of the assayer Antonio González Téllez used in 1791, and to that of a silversmith likely named Antonio Ampudia or de Ampudia. Antonio González Téllez (1720-1778) worked as an assayer in Valladolid between 1743 and 1774/78, and works by him dated after those provided are known. It is worth noting that he had two relatives with the same surname who worked as silversmiths in the same city (one being Eustasio González Téllez). Antonio Ampudia was a silversmith who worked in Valladolid, and works by him from the last quarter of the 18th century and the first decade of the 19th century are known (cruets from the parish church of San Millán de Baltanás, etc.). Weight: 802 grams.

SILVER TRAY. SALAMANCA, SPAIN. POSSIBLY FRANCISCO DE VILLARROEL, FIRST...

Tray. Repoussé silver. Salamanca (Spain), possibly Francisco de Villarroel, first half of the 18th century. With contrast markings. A tray made of embossed silver in its natural color, decorated with a figurative relief depicting a child surrounded by war paraphernalia (shields, drums, spears, flags, etc.). The rim features a floral decoration with plant elements and ends, towards the outside, in a wavy curve. The hallmarks correspond to the city of Salamanca (Spain) and to those used by the silversmith Francisco de Villaroel y Gallarca (Salamanca, 1676-1749), who joined the Confraternity of Saint Eligius at the beginning of the 18th century (holding positions such as steward, deputy, examiner, and secretary) and was a silversmith and assayer (officially appointed in 1708) during the first half of the 18th century, using the same mark in both roles, which increases the complexity of attributing pieces to him. His work is held in several private collections, many religious centers (Zamora Cathedral, the Carmelite Convent of Alba de Tormes, Salamanca Cathedral, etc.), and institutions such as the Museu Medeiros e Almeida (Lisbon, Portugal) and the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (MNAA).

SILVER PLATE. SALAMANCA, SPAIN, JUAN SANZ, CIRCA SECOND HALF 18TH CENT...

Salvilla. Silver. Salamanca, Juan Manuel Sanz, around the second half of the 18th century. With contrast markings. Silver salve in its natural color with legs formed by two joined "c"s enhanced with architectural elements and a top plate with a profile of mitered curves that translate into edges on the eaves, which are enhanced with several smooth moldings. Stylistically, the piece corresponds to a very common fashion in Spanish silversmithing of the second half of the 18th century in terms of the shape and contours of the upper part. However, the legs, curiously, are more reminiscent of earlier Baroque elements. The hallmarks refer to Juan Sanz de Velasco, a silversmith based in Salamanca since 1759 (specifically, active between 1746 and 1786). Juan Manuel Sanz de Velasco (1717-1786) was born in Ampudia (Palencia) and achieved the title of master in 1746. His works include a monstrance in Linares de Riofrío, an altar cross (parish of Rágana), altar cards in Salamanca Cathedral, cruets (La Vellés), a boat incense holder (Armenteros), and others. Weight: 880 grams.

Pair of candlesticks. Bronze. 16th century. A pair of bronze candlesticks with a raised, circular base enhanced by projecting, smooth moldings, a central axis decorated with discs, and a bulbous upper section. They belong to the type known as "spool candlesticks" and were common in certain European schools; for example, they can already be found in Spanish Gothic pieces, becoming very common thereafter. Over the following centuries, details such as the proportions of the base, its lines, and the upper finial would be varied, adapting them to the taste of each period.

VIRGIN WITH CHILD. POLYCHROMED WOOD. SPANISH SCHOOL, 14TH CENTURY.

Virgin and Child Jesus. Carved and polychromed wood. Spanish school, 14th century. Polychrome wood carving with gilded details depicting the Virgin Mary seated on a low throne, wearing a mantle, tunic, crown, headdress, and jewels, holding an open flower in her right hand and resting her left hand on the Child's shoulder. Jesus is seated on his Mother's left knee, blessing with his right hand and holding a golden orb in his left. Iconographically, this type of work was common during the Romanesque period in Europe, a time when Christian theology viewed the Virgin Mary as the vehicle of salvation through her son Jesus. Over time (and with the theological emphasis on Mary's role as Mother of God), the initially hieratic pose of this group evolved, as exemplified by this sculpture. It is worth noting the presence of the flower, similar to a lily, which had been considered a symbol of purity and virginity since the 12th century. Compare, for example, with the sculpture held by the Prado Museum in Madrid (catalog E000447), also dated to the 14th century; with the 13th-century sculpture in the Diocesan Museum of Sigüenza, originally from Mojares; with the early 14th-century sculpture known as Our Lady of Antigua, in Galbárruli (La Rioja); with the one in the Parish of San Andrés in Vitoria, dated to the 13th-14th centuries; etc. It is also worth noting that this model is so common that it served as inspiration for much later works (the 17th-century Virgin and Child in the Museum of Decorative Arts of Chile, inventory number 24.83.32, is also noteworthy).
