WALNUT TABLE FOR BARGUEÑO DESK, 17TH CENTURY.

Boat table in walnut wood, 17th century. Turned legs joined with double chamfers are secured to the table plank with curved wrought iron fasteners. This type of furniture was made to hold and display bins or desks, being utilitarian objects that, however, were frequently decorated in a moderate way so as not to take away the prominence of the piece they supported. In the present case, the movement for which Baroque art is known can be seen in the legs and pawls.

EXTENDING TABLE (6 M). MAHOGANY, METAL, ETC. ENGLAND, CIRCA 1930.

Extendable table (6 meters). Mahogany wood, metal, leather, etc. England, around 1930. Rectangular table made of mahogany wood carved with rectangles of another material in green (leather) trimmed in gold on the top, which has eight legs finished in rollers and a “worm screw” system under the tabletop that allows it to be extended up to reach six meters thanks to a manual action crank that is attached to one of the smaller sides of the piece. The legs are already very common in English examples from the 18th century (a type known as “claw and ball” with a cabriolet leg, a shape that, although more of a French tradition, spread quickly throughout Europe). The main theory of experts is that it is a design derived from Chinese art (the claw of a dragon grasping a pearl or similar) and that it would reach the West thanks to the trade in porcelain, silk, etc., appearing for the first time in English silversmithing and, from it, extending to other arts. English cabinetmakers are credited with transforming the dragon's claw into a lion's paw, this animal symbolizing English authority. Thus, the “ball and claw” was popular in England between approximately 1710 and 1750 (recovering later as styles of the past came back into fashion), and with variations in shape and lines (shape of the claw, details of the nails and “fingers”, proportion between the sphere and the extremity, etc.) depending on the area in which this decorative element was used. The decoration present towards the waist of the furniture and on the edge of the top board, in slight relief and leaving the wood in its color, is of an architectural and vegetal theme and shows an influence of ancient classic models (Greek and Roman) both in its motifs. as in the composition (symmetry on the sides of the furniture, harmony, etc.). Regarding the presence of the fabric upholstery of the upper board, it is a more common element in tables intended for conferences, desks or games than in dining tables (which usually have a wooden board), although this detail does not exclude any function for it. Likewise, we must highlight the conservation of the leg rollers, an element that used to be eliminated or lost with use and the passage of time.

EUCHARISTIC CHEST OR CASKET. POLYCHROMED WOOD. SPAIN, 16TH CENTURY.

Chest. Carved and polychrome wood. Spain, 16th century. Carved, gilded and polychrome wooden chest with a rectangular base and upper part in the shape of a gable or trough roof (with the smaller sides straight and not inclined); It opens when going down on the front, revealing the polychrome and gilding of the interior. On the outside, the piece presents a painted decoration: on the smaller sides two male figures on a gold background flanked by fine balustraded columns and under a decoration reminiscent of cloth; The front has simple architectural elements carved in light relief, leaving the semicircular arch for a Virgen de la Leche; The back has a composition based on plant elements in “ce”, volutes, winged children, masks, scrolls, etc., with a clear classicist influence; The upper part of the piece has a decoration similar to that of the bottom on all its fronts except the front, where you can clearly see an inscription in Latin capital letters inspired by Antiquity framed by a band with scrolls and plant elements. On the sides appear Saint Peter with the keys and Saint Paul holding the sword in his arms that alludes to his martyrdom. Both the faces and the postures of the characters and the architectural elements show a clear relationship with stylistic novelties, while the golden background is a common detail in the Spanish school since the Gothic period. Decoration based on plant elements, scrolls, etc. present in several areas of the chest, which has already been mentioned, is known as grotesques, and stands out for its classicist influence, for not presenting a strictly symmetrical organization in all the panels in which it is found, and for its compositional quality. The grotesque is a very common decorative motif in art since the “discovery” (15th century) in the Domus Aurea in Rome of ancient paintings with plant elements, cornucopias, panoplies, human and theriomorphic figures, mythological beings, etc. arranged in usually symmetrical compositions. The Virgin Mary is presented breastfeeding the Child, hence this iconography is known as the Virgin of Milk. Regarding the inscription (“O SACRV CONBIBIVM IN QUO written by Saint Thomas Aquinas and included in the traditional Catholic liturgy in the festival of Corpus Christi, with forms in Gregorian chant and musical compositions written by prominent teachers such as Tomás Luis de Victoria, Palestrina, Pergolesi, etc. All these details mentioned and the fact that the chest opens with a folding front “lid” would indicate the creation of the piece to contain and display a monstrance with the Sacred Form or some similar liturgical element of great importance. Compare it with pieces such as the chest coming, perhaps, from Valladolid, and dated to the 16th century that is in the Casa Natal de Cervantes Museum (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid), the oak wood chest dated around 1300 from the Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid with the polychrome exterior, or the Eurcharistic chest that the same museum preserves of Valencian origin and dated towards the last third of the 14th century (thus proving the long tradition of the typology of the present piece), etc.

LOUIS XV STYLE CHANDELIER, TWELVE LIGHTS. GLASS, BRONZE. SIGNED. BACCA...

Louis XV style chandelier; twelve lights. Glass, bronze. Baccarat, France, 19th century. Signed. Adapted to electric light. Ceiling chandelier with a golden metal body as an axis from which a series of rods of the same material emerge in different positions, creating a multi-story composition and giving space for points of light and white transparent glass elements . These come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes (star or flower; others have a complex design and are engraved with a Greek cross at the bottom of them; there are others in vases; saucers that would originally go under the candles and now they are under the stems of the bulbs), combining smooth areas with other scratched and engraved ones. The metal arms have hardly any decoration, thus giving prominence to the glass; In this same material, polygonal “saucers” appear under the points of light, a crown in the upper area of the lamp, etc. It has three points of light wrapped in tulips facing downwards, another three points of light facing upwards in an inner circle, and six more in the outer area. The French Baccarat factory received its first order in 1823, thus beginning a long series of works destined for royal houses, heads of state, etc. of all the world. The first of many recognitions would come in 1855 when he was awarded the Gold Medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. Between 1846 and 1849 the manufacture marked some of its finest glassware with the letter “B” and the year the piece was created. Crystal production expanded in this period, earning the firm a well-deserved international reputation for its quality glassware, with pieces such as candelabras and perfume bottles. Around 1860 the manufacture began to mark its products with a registered trademark usually engraved on the base of the piece. During the second half of the 19th century, the Imperial era ended with the fall of Napoleon III, and trends external to French art began to significantly influence the work of the house (particularly Japanese, a key influence in the development of the decorative arts. French from the end of this century); Likewise, and during these years, there was significant growth in the factory on the Asian continent (India received some of the most striking orders...), and the production of perfume bottles became one of the most important for Baccarat (for In 1907 production was about four thousand bottles per day). In 1936, Baccarat began etching its works with acid and the shot blasting technique. Currently, historical Baccarat pieces can be seen in the museum that bears his name in Paris, in prominent residences in Europe and Asia, etc.

THREE LOCKS CHEST. WOOD, WROUGHT IRON, LEATHER. CA 1600.

Chest with three locks. Wood, leather, wrought iron. Around 1600. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood and covered, on the outside, with leather and wrought iron fittings (three locks, corner pieces, two handles, ornaments, hinges). Inside, it has a red fabric covering both on the body of the trunk and on the lid (an area in which there is an embroidery based on geometric elements arranged in a symmetrical composition, counting lost details). The typology of the piece (rectangular box with a flat lid) is one of the most common in Spanish coffers and chests, with specimens with this shape already being found at the beginning of the Middle Ages. Regarding the use of textiles, it was common in Spain already during the 15th century to make chests lined on the outside and inside, usually red (the most expensive dyes were red and blue), both to enhance the piece and to protect the content. Covering the wood with leather on the outside was also common, again to enhance and protect the trunk. As for the hardware, the spear shape with lobes that the wrought iron pieces present refers to examples from the late Gothic period with Renaissance influence, with some somewhat more advanced forms. The three locks have openwork shields decorated with waves and simplified plant elements, and the presence of the three in the same chest refers to a typology known as “town hall” or “council” (having three keys, it was necessary that the three authorities that had one got together and agreed to access the content, adding an element of security). It is not entirely common for this type of pieces to be preserved in good condition, and similar examples can be found in some important private collections and in institutions such as the Valencia Cathedral Museum, the Palacios y Villafranca City Hall, and the Military Historical Museum of Seville. , etc.

In the upper part, under the board, there are carved corbels with scrolls, tongues and simple architectural elements; On the sides of the front some grooves recall architectural motifs. The exterior of the doors and drawers and the sides of the furniture present a decoration based on panels of different sizes and shapes (crosses, squares, rectangular), following a tradition deeply rooted in Spanish furniture and which allows the panel to be compared with works such as the cupboard (upper part with lattice doors) from the last third of the 17th century made of walnut, pine and iron that is preserved in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, or the cupboard with turned balusters from the 17th century that is in the Museo Casa of Cervantes of Valladolid, for example.

GOTHIC CHEST. PINEWOOD, METAL. 16TH CENTURY.

Gothic chest. Carved pine wood, iron. Century XVI. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood and decorated on the outside with a series of divisions into rectangular spaces using smooth moldings. On the front, these spaces have been decorated with a relief of the type known as “napkin” or “folded cloth” or “parchment”. The simple rectangular legs still retain some carved detail. In the center of the front there is a metal lock shield (probably wrought iron) to secure the contents. The relief of folded cloth was common in Gothic furniture, coming from Flanders in the 15th century and commonly used in Spain until well into the 16th century, although examples from the 17th century are preserved that maintain this decorative element. As for wood, although walnut is common in Spanish furniture, it is not unusual to find specimens carved from pine wood. It is currently possible to find Gothic arks in several prominent museums: the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid preserves four Gothic arks from the 15th century (with Gothic architectural decoration and other carved elements); the Lázaro Galdiano Museum has an Italian example from the 15th century with work on skylights and arches reminiscent of Muslim diamond-shaped panels (Inventory 2141); The Museum of Navarra has a wedding chest made of wood and embossed and polychrome leather from the last third of the 15th century (inventory CE000115); etc The National Museum of Decorative Arts has an oak wood sideboard (CE01616) decorated with “folded” or “scroll” carving panels, dated around 1500, and an ark with similar decoration dated between 1476 and 1525 (CE19287) .

NEOGOTHICH CUPBOARD. OAK. 19TH CENTURY.

Neogothic wardrobe. Carved oak wood. XIX century. Tall cabinet made of carved oak wood with a dark finish formed by a hollow lower body, decorated with “napkin” or “parchment” plates, stripes of linear motifs and thin columns, and an upper body with two doors (which give access to shelves of two holes); Between them there are two drawers with fronts carved with plant motifs. Raised on legs decorated with plates in front, the doors present a symmetrical composition of stems with grapes (around Gothic-type letters) in a setting of smooth moldings, decorated ironwork and human figures on pedestals; The sides of this area have “parchment” decoration. The piece is finished with a prominent smooth molding. Typologically, the present piece follows a form that is reminiscent of certain Renaissance works (especially buffets) with variations common in pieces from the 19th century. As for the decoration, centered on the front, the influence of Spanish Gothic works is clear both in the theme and in the composition: sculptures on pedestals and the clothing of the figures, the compositions of the drawers, the presence of those panels with “napkin” carvings, panels with stems and grapes, letters, thin columns, etc. Likewise, it is possible to appreciate a certain air coming from Neoclassicism, a common style in the 19th century. At this time it was common to be inspired by past styles to make outstanding furniture, like the present. Although Neo-Gothic was used more frequently for ecclesiastical works, it was not absent from important residences and other institutions, as it was one of the favorite styles at the time. It is possible to find examples reminiscent of this cabinet in museums such as the Romanticism Museum in Madrid, the National Decorative Arts Museum in the same city, etc.

Likewise, it is possible to see, in metal on fabric, different metal fittings and corners, with flordelised profiles and circular shapes. The two horseshoe shields, openwork to reveal the fabric, have a series of moldings arranged geometrically flanking a vertical axis; On the sides, there are also two handles, with a similar metallic decoration applied to the wood and formed by an oval-shaped bar ending in two simplified volutes and a disc in the part that would be gripped. The interior has a small closed and reserved space, on one side of the furniture. The lines of the furniture follow those common in Spanish chests since the Middle Ages, and it is the decorative elements (especially the hardware, but also the legs and the decorative moldings that stand out) that place the work within the Baroque of the century. XVII for its curves and countercurves. Likewise, this would be a typology that will continue to be used later, logically changing the decoration. Walnut wood is the most common wood in Spanish furniture due to its size, its abundance at the time and its resistance and durability. Chests and chests were elements used very frequently both in the Middle Ages and in the Modern Age, to store a wide variety of objects (clothes, dishes, metals, etc.). In this case, the presence of two keys suggests that money or some precious asset would be kept, because this detail could allude to the need for two civil or religious positions necessary to open it.

Compare the feline paws with illustrations by Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842) and Thomas Hope (1769-1831), and with furniture designs by George Smith (1756-1826).

PAIR OF FATEUILS A LA REINE. WOOD, TEXTILE. POSSIBLY FRANCE, 18TH CENT...

Pair of Louis XV chairs or armchairs. Carved wood, tapestry. Possibly France, 18th century. Pair of high-backed and upholstered armchairs, cushion and armrests with a fragment in the center also upholstered of the type known as “fauteuil à la reine” due to its shape, made of carved and gilded wood. The legs have a soft cabriole shape and a heel as a bottom finish, as well as a carved decoration based on flowers, seed beads and plant elements, which can be found throughout the furniture. The backrest, high and flat, ends in a soft curve pronounced towards the center, and the arms emerge from it, in a straight line forward, until a little more in front of the middle of the seat, at which point they descend towards it, drawing a gentle curve. It is known as Louis XV, in cabinetmaking, in the style developed in France between approximately 1732 and 1765, during the reign of the monarch of the same name. It is an artistic trend that is part of Rococo, hence the abundance of curved lines, plant elements and the presence of rockeries and motifs inspired by scallops. Likewise, it is necessary to indicate that, although towards the beginning of the Rococo asymmetry in decoration was common, after a time more symmetrical schemes were generally imposed in furniture, decorative panels, etc. The “queen's armchair” typology was created, according to some experts, by the cabinetmaker Jean-Baptiste Tillard, and is one of the most characteristic typologies of Louis XV furniture, although there are also those in the Louis XVI style (and period). In any case, this category already appears in the books of engravings L\\'Art du menusier by André Jacob Roubo, published between 1769 and 1775. During the first years of the Regency (1715-23) the armchairs had short, curved legs. , the top of the backrest was slightly curved, while the backrest and arm supports were straight. The armchairs of the middle Louis XV period (1723-1750) were smaller than those of the Louis XIV period, but more comfortable. The legs were more curved, the upper back was rounded and often had a small ornamental design. The back of the chair took on a more elegant violin shape. This form became known as Chaise à la Reine, or "Queen's Chair." Compare the present example with outstanding pieces, such as those preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris: group of four “queen chairs” dated between 1745 and 1750 (one has inventory number OA 10498 4), another pair from around 1740 (OA 10501 1 and OA 10501 2), one from the workshop of René Cresson dated between 1730 and 1740, etc. Or the chair in which the Marquise de Pompadour appears seated in the portrait, preserved in this same institution, that Maurice-Quentin de La Tour painted of her between 1752 and 1755.
