Auction. Carved pine wood. XVII century. Finish or cape made of pine wood carved in its color with a human bust in the center, located holding two volutes and thus creating an axis of symmetry for the elaborate composition that the piece presents, based on flowers, plant motifs, architectural details, etc. with a certain classicist influence and a lot of movement and depth. The fact that the back is presented without working in detail suggests the possibility that this relief was originally part of an important altarpiece given the size of the piece and its quality. Both the movement and the decorative elements of the composition link the work with the Spanish Baroque.

Table with lentil type leg. Walnut wood. Guadalajara, Spain, 17th century. Table with a flat rectangular board that has a drawer in front flanked by two corbels or smooth moldings, and is made of carved walnut wood, which has four turned legs in what is known as lentil type due to its shape based on small consecutive discs that are secured to each other at the bottom thanks to the presence of a smooth rectangular die in each one and an undecorated wooden crossbar. The front drawer, with a key closure and a weathered iron knob, has two carved rectangles flanking the lock hole and high-quality dovetail joints that are visible when opened. Compare, for example, with the walnut table with discs on the legs dated to the 17th century that is preserved in the collections of the old Municipal Museum of Madrid; with another dais table in walnut and pine wood with carved drawers and lenticular turned legs from the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, dated to the 17th century; or with a 17th century Castilian buffet table from the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid). Typologically, due to its decoration, it is a model with a long tradition in the Castilian school, particularly in the Guadalajara area.

Dutch marquetry chest of drawers. Century XVIII. Requires restoration. Chest of drawers with four front drawers with key closure and two handles on each one, decorated with marquetry applications (on the sides, front and top board) with a plant theme. Both the top board and the front have a series of curvatures towards the front, and, in the lower area of the furniture, some downward protruding elements provide more movement (note the marquetry details also present here). Stylistically, you can see elements common to 18th century European furniture in the Rococo style (movement in the front, curves and countercurves, etc.) along with elements common in the Dutch school (note, above all, the designs and colors used in the marquetry decoration).

Bank. Walnut. Spanish school, 17th century. Walnut wood bench carved in its color that has a backrest made of a smooth rectangular board and a seat made of another similar to the previous one, both arranged at an angle. The legs have a particular shape, known as "lyre", and a decoration of vegetal and architectural motifs (volutes) in relief. It also has two wooden “stays”, which have undulations in their profile. Lyre leg tables have their origin in the Spain of Charles II, during the second half of the 17th century. The simplest ones have a simple cutout in the side legs, becoming completely carved in the peripheral center models. This support element, as can be seen, was also used in other types of furniture. The material is also the usual one in ancient Spanish cabinetmaking, although it should be noted that the most common thing, apparently, is for the fasteners to be made of wrought iron.

Saint or Virgin to dress. Wood, metal. Spanish school, 17th century. It has faults. The female figure stands (with her right leg forward) on a small polygonal base. Made of partially polychrome wood, note that the feet (which show through the “dress”), the hands up to the wrists, and the head and neck are worked. The skull is prepared to receive hairpieces or clothing. As for clothing carvings, these were very common during the Spanish Baroque, and there may be cases of works in which the unseen part was barely roughed out and others in which everything is carved, with many intermediate points (see the present case). . Remember the San Antonio Abad by Benito Silveira made in the second half of the 18th century that is in the National Museum of Sculpture in Valladolid, a San Francisco de Paula from the 18th century in the Museo del Carmen de Maipú (Santiago de Chile), etc.

Pair of carved wooden corbels. Venice, 19th century. Pair of figurative corbels from the 19th century, carved in wood in a round shape, with a beautiful dark patina that enhances the relief and details of the sculptural work. They are signed on the back “Felici Venezia”. The lintels, with a molded profile and a plan of Baroque heritage, with numerous recesses and projections, rise above two vegetated herms of classical style, with the lower part in the shape of a brace adorned with large acanthus leaves worked with a soft carving, of soft appearance, which moves away from the general classical inspiration to approach the naturalism of Art Nouveau. From these braces emerge the busts of two winged putti, children's bodies carved in a round shape with grace and attention to detail, with delicate dynamism. The two putti are represented in the same posture, with one arm bent over the chest and the other raised above the head. They form a symmetrical composition, each mirror reflection of the other. The high quality of the carving of these pieces is especially appreciated in these figurative representations: the anatomical work is impeccable, as is the expressiveness of the faces, and the carving of the wings, hair and ribbons that adorn their torsos reflects a work meticulous, naturalistic and precious in detail.

Oil lamp. Silver. Possibly Malaga, Spain, 19th century. With contrast markings. Two-light candelabra with a piece on the back that stands on a foot with a circular base, elevated and decorated with smooth concave moldings, pearl lines and a curved frieze of leaves, featuring an engraved crowned “F” (possible owner's mark) . The square and smooth foot gives way to a leaf-shaped key and two candle arms decorated with leaves, and is finished with an eagle spreading its wings. The aforementioned hollow tubular piece has a pineapple finial on the hinged lid and a piece along a channel. Both the decoration and the lines and shape of the candle show a strong French influence and a very close relationship with Neoclassicism and other styles derived from it. The eagle, for example, is reminiscent of pieces from the French Empire, although it is a very common animal in the decorative arts of the 19th century. The contrast marks present on the piece would allude to the master or silversmith responsible for the creation of the piece (Baños), perhaps to the year of completion of the work (1833) and, possibly, the third is either the rampant lion crowned on a related shield with the Royal Decree-Law of June 4, 1926 on the trade of precious metals in Spain (indicating then that it is first law) or that it comes from the city of León, dating in this case between the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. XX. The rampant lion is a common contrast mark in silverware, appearing, in Spain, in pieces from Córdoba from the 19th century (without a crowned shield), Calatayud, Córdoba (rampant lion with turned head and circular outline), Pamplona, etc. It is possible that this piece was made in Malaga.

Napoleon III box. Marquetry. France, 19th century. Rectangular wooden box with a flat lid and supported on circular legs that has a front opening with a key closure and a hinged folding top lid. Inside, there is a flat horizontal space with the edges highlighted with two lines of clear marquetry (the same as the lower area of the lid and the interior of the folding part of the front), and three drawers under it, also highlighted with details clear. These types of pieces were used to contain different items (writing messages, jewelry, documents, etc.) either during trips or to be placed on a table and used there. The exterior decoration, centered on the front and top, consists of delicate compositions with a plant theme and a strong classicist influence made with wood of different tones: shields, flowers, scrolls, cartouches, leaves, etc. The sides of the box are highlighted only with wooden lines in a lighter tone. In general, it is intended that the decorative elements, arranged with harmony and symmetry in various tones and light colors (rosewood, fruit trees, etc.), highlight the dark tone of the rosewood. This type of boxes or chests were very common throughout the 19th century in Europe. In the time of Napoleon III (emperor between 1852 and 1870), they were usually decorated with both Boulle-type marquetry and wood, highlighting works from houses such as the Maison Berthet & Peret (work preserved in private collections).

Narcissus in the fountain. Oil on panel. XIX century. Oil on panel that shows a landscape with trees and architectural elements of strong classicist influence (wall with reliefs, glass with garlands, sculptures, fountain) in which two figures appear. A young man dressed in a red tunic that reveals his chest and appears looking at his reflection in the fountain bowl is accompanied by a winged boy who has a bow and makes the gesture with his right hand of taking an arrow from the quiver of your back. The painting depicts the classical myth of Narcissus. According to classical mythology, Narcissus was a very beautiful young man who cruelly rejected the love of the nymph Echo, for which he was condemned by Nemesis to fall in love with his own image. Thus, upon seeing himself reflected in a fountain or spring (many representations show him crouching on the shores of a lake; note the particularity of the present work in showing an architectural and not a “natural” source), he became absorbed and ended up committing suicide, ending converted into the flower that bears his name or emerging from the place where the body fell.

18 kt gold brooch with garnets. 18-karat gold brooch formed by a symmetrical composition based on bows and scrolls with a fine decoration in light relief of plant elements with a slight reminder of Neoclassical works. In the upper finish there is a circular faceted garnet, accompanied by three oval ones (the central one with gold pearls around it) in the central part (these highlighted thanks to the presence of other circular carved gems), and another one with a teardrop shape in the bottom. From this body hangs, thanks to four rings, two gold cords with links in the shape of scales, which end in separate tassels, recalling textile examples often used in curtains and other elements both in the 19th century and later. Jewelry with pendant elements joined together “in a trembling pattern” so that they move when attached or placed was common in 19th century jewelry, with the aim of adding some movement and avoiding the rigidity of the pieces, adding a touch of originality. to the compositions. At this time, the composition based on classicist plant elements accompanied by flowers and lacework was common. Comparing with the present example, this one is more reminiscent of models inspired by works that follow a style known as Neo-Renaissance for following the artistic style that was born in Italy in the 15th century, with those volutes and the powerful composition based on smooth shapes and volutes, Also responding to this relationship are the fine relief vegetal elements already mentioned. However, the chromatic combination achieved by the gems provides the softness required by the aesthetic taste of the time, without the striking contrasts more characteristic of the oldest jewelry that has been preserved.
