SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA WITH JESUS, MALINAS. WOOD. MECHELEN, 16TH CENTU...

Saint Anthony with the Infant Jesus. Wood. School of Malines, 16th century. A carved wooden sculpture, worked, as was usual in this centre, on the front part because it was intended to be placed on an altar, representing Saint Anthony of Padua with the Child Jesus sitting on a book, in one of the most common iconographies for this Franciscan saint. The relationship with the school of Malines is evident in the physiognomy of the figures, the remains of the polychromy, etc. The "poupées malinoises" or "Malines dolls" are small sculptures of saints made in the late 15th century and early 16th century in the workshops of Malines (Flanders) and were known by these names because of the similarity of their faces to those of dolls or peponas ("poupins"); they were sometimes also called "cutlet sculptures" because they were finished only at the front, being flat at the back, depending on the depth of the bottom of the niche where they were to be placed. They were made for small domestic altarpieces - normally containing three statuettes or "dolls" - rectangular in the shape of a box and with painted wings or doors. The best-known example is perhaps the altarpiece preserved in the Mayer van den Bergh Museum in Antwerp.

CASTILLIAN TABLE. WALNUT, IRON. SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Castilian table. Walnut wood, iron. Spain, 17th century. Restored board (brushed). Walnut table with four column-shaped legs, ending below in carved cubes on the fronts with geometric elements on which there are two circular shapes; these cubes are joined in pairs by means of carved jambs on the front with tabs. The waist of the piece of furniture has this same carved tabs around rectangular shapes on the sides and back (with ovals in the centre, highlighted with mouldings and circular elements). The drawer on the front has a decorated lock shield, lockable by key and two areas on the sides of it with rectangular panels framed by simple geometric shapes. Compare, for example, the walnut table with disc legs dating from the 17th century in the collections of the former Municipal Museum of Madrid; another walnut and pine dais with carved drawers and lenticular turned legs in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, dating from the 17th century; or a Castilian buffet table from the 17th century in the Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid). Typologically, due to its decoration, this is a model with a long tradition in the Castilian school. Weight: 20 kg.

VIENNA TABLE CABINET. WOOD, ENAMEL. 19TH CENTURY.

Viennese tabletop jewelry box or chest. Wood, enamel, bronze. Austria, second half of the 19th century. Requires restoration. Rectangular table or writing desk with four rectangular projecting corners and a finial projecting from an openwork railing, forming an architectural composition and ending in a gilt-bronze child figure. The four corners of the piece feature semicircular arches with gilt-bronze twisted columns, sheltering bronze female figures in a dancing pose, with other children above. In addition to a series of gilt-bronze appliqués throughout the piece, there are a series of hand-painted enamel plaques with mythological scenes in pastel tones. Two doors on the front give access to three interior drawers, with handles and enamel plaque decorations depicting landscapes. Note that the doors are also decorated with scenes inside. These types of cabinets were highly prized in courtly settings, and were used in private women's homes to store jewelry or other valuables, while also being highly decorative. The shape, materials (ebony or ebonized wood, bronze, etc.), and enamel plaques follow the style of the 19th-century Viennese school, which specialized in this type of cabinet (the most important were made in Vienna). It was unusual to feature corners with architectural shelters, as can be seen in this example (there are two other examples in private collections, one with plain bronze columns and the other with porcelain and twisted columns, both dating from around 1880).

GILT WOOD CONSOLE WITH LIONS’ HEADS. MARBLE, WOOD. 18TH CENTURY.

Console table with lion heads. Carved and gilded wood, marble top. Possibly Italian school, 18th century. A console table with four legs joined by a jamb that ends in a central piece, made of carved and gilded wood, designed to stand against a wall and completed with a light-toned veined marble top that follows the lines of the furniture (curves on three fronts and straight lines on the legs). The slender, molded waist features a raised edge of leaf garlands that join the lion protomes that crown the legs and the flowered scallop shell at the front; the legs, with architectural lines, with volutes at the ends and leaf garlands, are topped with lion heads; the aforementioned jamb also features carved leaves and flowers. Stylistically, both the waist and tabletop lines, the elements of the rest of the furniture, and the material used in it can be linked to 18th-century European works. The lines of the legs (straight compared to other Rococo pieces from, for example, the French school) are reminiscent of pieces based on designs by Daniel Marot (1661-1752), a Dutch architect, furniture designer, and engraver, who were also pieces from the Dutch school. However, it should be noted that his designs influenced numerous creations throughout the continent. It is also worth noting the presence of an 18th-century console table in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, whose general lines (though not so much the decoration, as this is more Rococo than the present one) are reminiscent of this work in some details. Compare also with those of the Church of Santa Maria Nova in Naples (Italy), with those of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, etc.

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

Extendable table (6 metres). Mahogany wood, metal, leather, etc. England, circa 1930. Rectangular table made of mahogany carved with rectangles of another material in green (leather) edged in gold on the top, which has eight legs finished with rollers and a “worm screw” system under the tabletop that allows its extension up to six meters thanks to a manually operated crank that is attached to one of the smaller sides of the piece. The claws are very common in 18th century English examples (a type known as “claw and ball” with a cabriolet leg, a shape that, although more traditionally French, spread rapidly throughout Europe). The main theory of experts is that it is a design derived from Chinese art (a dragon’s claw grasping a pearl or similar) and that it would have reached the West thanks to the trade in porcelain, silk, etc., appearing for the first time in English silverware and, from there, spreading to other arts. The transformation of the dragon’s claw into a lion’s paw is attributed to English cabinetmakers, this animal symbolising English authority. Thus, the “ball and claw” was popular in England between approximately 1710 and 1750 (later recovering as the styles of the past became fashionable again), 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 piece of furniture and on the edge of the upper board, in slight relief and leaving the wood in its colour, is of an architectural and vegetal theme and shows an influence of ancient classical models (Greek and Roman) both in its motifs and in the composition (symmetry on the sides of the piece of furniture, harmony, etc.). As for the presence of the fabric upholstery on the top, this is a more common element in tables intended for conferences, desks or games than in dining tables (which usually have a wooden top), although this detail does not exclude any function for it. Also worth noting is the preservation of the rollers on the legs, an element that used to be removed or lost with use and the passage of time. 428x160x86 cm.

Both are joined with an iron fastener and support a single-piece board with carved edges. This type of leg, called lyre legs due to their resemblance to the musical instrument, was widely used during the Renaissance, and continued to be used later due to the movement that their curved profiles provided to the piece of furniture.

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. Chandelier with a golden metal body as an axis from which a series of rods of the same material branch out in different positions, creating a composition of several floors and giving space for the points of light and the elements of white transparent glass. These come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes (star-shaped or flower-shaped; others have a complex design and are engraved with a Greek cross on the lower part of them; there are others with vase-shaped shapes; saucers that were originally under the candles and are now under the rods of the light bulbs), combining smooth areas with other striped and engraved ones. The metal arms have hardly any decoration, thus giving prominence to the glass; in this same material there are polygonal “saucers” under the points of light, a crown in the upper area of the lamp, etc. It has three points of light wrapped in lampshades 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 for royal houses, heads of state, etc. around the world. The first of many accolades would come in 1855 when it was awarded the Gold Medal at the World's Fair in Paris. Between 1846 and 1849 the manufacture marked some of its finest crystal items with the letter “B” and the year in which the piece was created. Crystal production expanded during this period, and earned the firm a well-deserved international reputation for quality glassware, with pieces such as candlesticks and perfume bottles. By 1860 the manufacture began marking its products with a 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 outside French art began to have a significant influence on the company's work (particularly Japanese, a key influence on the development of French decorative arts at the end of this century). During these years, the factory also grew significantly 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 (by 1907 production was around four thousand bottles a day). In 1936, Baccarat began to engrave its work with acid and the shot-blasting technique. Today, historical Baccarat pieces can be seen in the museum that bears its name in Paris, in prominent residences in Europe and Asia, etc.

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

Three-lock chest. Wood, leather, wrought iron. Circa 1600. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood and covered on the outside with leather and wrought iron fittings (three bolts, corners, two handles, decorations, hinges). Inside, it has a red fabric covering both on the body of the chest and on the lid (an area in which there is embroidery based on geometric elements arranged in a symmetrical composition, including missing details). The type of piece (rectangular box with a flat lid) is one of the most common in Spanish chests and coffers, with examples of this shape being found as early as the early Middle Ages. As for the use of textiles, it was common in Spain as early as the 15th century to make chests lined on the outside and inside, usually in red (the most expensive dyes were red and blue), both to enhance the piece and to protect the contents. Covering the wood with leather on the outside was also common, again to enhance and protect the chest. As for the fittings, the lobed spear-shaped forged iron pieces are reminiscent of examples from the late Gothic period, already influenced by the Renaissance, with some more advanced forms. The three locks have openwork shields decorated with waves and simplified plant elements, and the presence of all three in the same chest refers to a type known as “town hall” or “council” (as there were three keys, it was necessary for the three authorities who had one to come together and agree to access the contents, adding an element of security). It is not very common for this type of piece to be preserved in good condition, and similar examples can be found in some important private collections and in institutions such as the Museum of the Cathedral of Valencia, the City Hall of Los Palacios y Villafranca, the Military History Museum of Seville, etc.

COMMODE (TAQUILLÓN). WALNUT, WROUGHT IRON. SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Ticket office. Walnut wood, wrought iron. Spain, 17th century. Rectangular low cabinet made of oak wood with wrought iron elements, raised slightly on four legs, with a slightly protruding straight top and fronts decorated with carvings, and two doors under two drawers, all with a key lock (lock shields decorated with simple lines only on the doors). When the doors are opened, access is given to a space divided in two by a shelf decorated with a series of cut-out lines on its lower edge.

The exterior of the doors and drawers and the sides of the cabinet are decorated with panels of different sizes and shapes (crosses, squares, rectangles), following a tradition deeply rooted in Spanish furniture and which allows the cabinet 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 which is preserved in the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid, or the cupboard with turned balusters from the 17th century which is in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Valladolid, for example.

GOTHIC CHEST. PINEWOOD, METAL. 16TH CENTURY.

Gothic chest. Carved pine wood, iron. 16th century. 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 mouldings. On the front, these spaces have been decorated with a relief of the type known as “napkin” or “folded cloth” or “parchment”. The rectangular and simple legs still retain some carved detail. In the centre of the front there is a metal lock shield (probably wrought iron) to secure the contents. The relief of folded cloths was common in Gothic furniture, originating in Flanders in the 15th century and commonly used in Spain until well into the 16th century, although there are examples from the 17th century that retain this decorative element. As for the wood, although walnut is common in Spanish furniture, it is not unusual to find examples carved in pine wood. Gothic chests can now be found in several prominent museums: the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid has four Gothic chests 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 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 sideboard (CE01616) decorated with carved panels “of folds” or “of scrolls”, dated around 1500, and a chest with similar decoration dated between 1476 and 1525 (CE19287).

NEOGOTHICH CUPBOARD. OAK. 19TH CENTURY.

Neo-Gothic wardrobe. Carved oak wood. 19th century. A tall piece of furniture made of carved oak with a dark finish, consisting of a hollow lower body decorated with “napkin” or “parchment” plaques, bands of linear motifs and thin columns, and an upper body with two doors (which give access to shelves with two spaces); between them there are two drawers with fronts carved with plant motifs. Raised on legs decorated with plaques on the front, the doors have a symmetrical composition of stems with grapes (around Gothic-type letters) in a setting of smooth mouldings, decorated ironwork and human figures on pedestals; the sides of this area have “parchment” decoration. The piece is finished off with a prominent smooth moulding. Typologically, the present piece follows a form that recalls certain Renaissance works (especially buffets) with variations that were already common in pieces from the 19th century. As for the decoration, focused on the front, the influence of Spanish Gothic works is clear both in the subject matter 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, the panels with the stems and grapes, the letters, the thin columns, etc. Likewise, it is possible to appreciate a certain air from Neoclassicism, a common style in the 19th century. At this time, it was common to draw inspiration from styles of the past to create outstanding furniture, such as the present one. Although Neo-Gothic was more frequently used for ecclesiastical works, it was not absent from important residences and other institutions, as it was one of the favourite styles at the time. It is possible to find examples that recall this cabinet in museums such as the Romanticism Museum in Madrid, the National Museum of Decorative Arts in the same city, etc.

Both the wood chosen for the table (mahogany) and the lack of decorative elements (which highlights the quality of the material and the lines) are common characteristics of antique English furniture.

English Regency console table. Rosewood, gilded wood, bronze, mirror. First half of the 19th century. Console with a rectangular top with smooth wooden edges, featuring a waist decorated with gilded bronzes and a band of black architectural elements.

The base repeats the pattern of the upper area, and is also decorated with gilded appliqués. Although the model shows the influence of the French Empire consoles common at the time, details such as the wooden top, dark lines, felines on the front, etc., are more reminiscent of English examples from the Regency period, so called because it was set at the time when the future George IV was Prince Regent (1811-1820). Compare the feline legs with illustrations by Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842) and Thomas Hope (1769-1831), and with furniture designs by George Smith (1756-1826).

CABINET OR CUPBOARD OR TWO TIERED BUFFET. WALNUT. SPAIN, 18TH CENTURY.

Two-body wardrobe. Walnut wood. Spain, 18th century. Two-body wardrobe made of carved walnut wood with doors (two pairs, top and bottom) and drawers (four, towards the centre of the piece, arranged in pairs) and slightly raised by disc-shaped legs. The upper part is finished off by a series of mouldings of different widths (the largest with small fluted corbels, elements also present flanking the drawers); doors (with simple inlays or marquetry in lighter wood) and drawers are also enhanced by similar mouldings; the corners of the door areas are enhanced by smooth-capital Solomonic columns; below, on the legs, another moulding-shaped finish, thinner than that of the upper part, frames the piece of furniture. The sides have simple recessed carvings differentiating the different areas mentioned. The careful study of the composition and its details (and therefore the quality) can be seen in the joints of the wood, in the care with which the elements are used (the door hinges are left out to provide a little more decoration), etc. The presence of the Solomonic columns and the delicate use of fluted corbels placed opposite each other to add some more movement show the influence of the Baroque in the cupboard. The general lines of the piece correspond to a common composition in Spain (compare with wastepaper baskets, the sacristy cupboard of the Burgos Cathedral from the 18th century, etc.), and the wood is also the most common in cabinetmaking in this country. Compare the piece with the archimesa in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid (first half of the 17th century, note the corbels); the well-known panelled cupboards; Louis XIII style pieces (noting the usual differences); etc.
