DUCHT MARQUETRY COMMODE. 18TH CENTURY.

Dutch marquetry chest of drawers. 18th century. Requires restoration. Chest of drawers with four drawers at the front with a key lock and two handles on each, decorated with marquetry applications (on the sides, front and top panel) with a plant theme. Both the top panel and the front have a series of curves towards the front, and, in the lower area of the piece of furniture, some elements projecting downwards provide more movement (note the marquetry details present here as well). Stylistically, one can appreciate elements common to 18th century European furniture in the Rococo style (movement in the front, curves and counter-curves, etc.) together with elements common to the Dutch school (note, above all, the designs and colours used in the marquetry decoration).

WALNUT BENCH. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY.

Bench. Walnut. Spanish school, 17th century. A bench made of carved walnut wood in its colour, with a backrest made up of a smooth rectangular board and a seat made up of another similar to the previous one, both arranged at an angle. The legs have a particular shape, known as “lyre-shaped”, and are decorated with plant and architectural motifs (scrolls) in relief. It also has two wooden “fasteners”, which have undulations in their profile. Lyre-leg tables originated in the Spain of Charles II, during the second half of the 17th century. The simplest ones have a simple cut in the side legs, and are even completely carved in models with peripheral centres. This support element, as can be seen, was also used in other types of furniture. The material is also the usual one in old Spanish cabinetmaking, although it should be noted that it seems that the most common thing is for the fasteners to be made of wrought iron.

VICTORIAN DRESSING TABLE. MAHOGANY, METAL, GLASS. ENGLAND, 19TH CENTUR...

Victorian dressing table. Mahogany, metal, glass. England, 19th century. A carved mahogany dressing table with turned front legs like banded columns topped with vase-like shapes, a drawer at the front and a recessed upper body with three drawers on each side and an enclosed space in the centre under the rectangular mirror, which has been enhanced with openwork plant decorations on the sides and a small tuft of architectural motifs on the top. The Victorian style is known as the style imposed during the reign of Victoria I of Great Britain towards the second half of the 19th century, popular in the country and very influential beyond its borders. The clean lines contribute to highlighting the grain of the wood, of great quality, and refer to a long tradition in English furniture, almost always characterised by fewer decorative elements than French furniture.

NAPOLEON III WRITING SLOPE OR BOX. MARQUETRY. FRANCE, 19TH CENTURY.

Napoleon III box. Marquetry. France, 19th century. Rectangular wooden box with a flat lid and supported by circular legs, with a front opening with a locking key and a hinged, folding top lid. Inside, there is a horizontal, flat space with edges highlighted with two lines of light marquetry (as is the lower area of the lid and the inside of the folding part of the front), and three drawers beneath it, also highlighted with light details. These types of pieces were used to hold different items (writing materials, jewellery, documents, etc.) either during travel or to be placed on a table and used there. The exterior decoration, centred 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 lines of wood in a lighter tone. In general, the decorative elements, arranged with harmony and symmetry in various tones and light colours (rosewood, fruit, etc.), are sought to stand out against the dark tone of the rosewood. These types of boxes or chests were very common throughout the 19th century in Europe. During the time of Napoleon III (emperor from 1852 to 1870), they were usually decorated with both Boulle-style marquetry and wood, with works from houses such as the Maison Berthet & Peret standing out (a work preserved in private collections).

TABLE. WALNUT, IRON. SPANISH SCHOOL, GUADALAJARA (SPAIN), 17TH CENTURY...

Table. Walnut wood, iron. Spanish school, Guadalajara, 17th century. Table with a smooth rectangular top, four spheres under the four legs (these joined by chamfers that start from rectangular cubes, and carved with spherical elements accompanied by lentil or disk shapes), and a carved waist in the lower area of the front. In this part, there is also a drawer with a key lock, decorated with a carving of plant motifs divided into two rectangular areas; inside, a board creates two spaces. Note the dovetail joints. As this is one of the most common types of furniture in the Castilian school of all ancient Spanish furniture, it is possible to find similar examples in important private collections and in prominent institutions. Compare, for example, with some buffets in the Casa Museo Lope de Vega in Madrid (one with column legs is dated to the first half of the 17th century), or with some of those kept in the Museo Casa de Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares in Madrid (in particular, one has a composition on the legs similar to that of the present one, the one in the museum dated to the 17th century and registered with inventory number CE00113).

”FRAILERO” CHAIR. WOOD, LEATHER. SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Pair of friar's chairs. Walnut wood, leather, metal. Spain, 17th century. Armchairs with high arms and backrests of the type known as “frailero”, which have leather with studs on the seat and upper part of the backrest, low chambranes joining the front legs with the back ones and middle chambranes or side rails (the front one carved and cut out creating geometric motifs) joining the two front legs and the two back ones, and simple armrests, with scrollwork finishes. The friar's chair, originally 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 movement of the 19th century. Being such a deep-rooted tradition in Spain, this type of model was never stopped being created.

DUTCH STYLE FRAME. EBONIZED WOOD. 17TH CENTURY.

Dutch style curly frame. Ebonized wood. 17th century. Rectangular frame made of carved wood and decorated with a series of parallel bands of different widths, alternating plain ones with others of different sizes (waves), reminiscent of basketry. Both in its colour and in the decoration mentioned above, the piece follows Dutch models, very popular during the 17th century Baroque practically throughout Europe, and frames were made in other schools following these prototypes. Compare, for example, with the frame of the “Portrait of a Gentleman” by Hans Memling in the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection (a Flemish piece, made of ebonized wood); or, in the same collection, with the frame of the work “Winter Scene with Skaters and Sleds in Front of a City” by Ruysdael; or with the “Vase of Tulips” by Philippe de Marlier and Frans Francken in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.

ORNAMENTAL MIRROR WITH CREST, 18TH CENTURY.

Cornucopia with a prominent crest in carved and gilded wood, 18th century. Cornucopia with a rectangular mirror inside, decorated in its frame with simple mouldings (some concave, others straight and others convex) without exaggerated movement and, on the outside, some light garlands of flowers. The upper crest stands out, very highlighted, formed by rocailles, curved mouldings, flowers and a vase. This work is of great interest because, while the simple lines to which we have referred respond more to models that follow the Neoclassical style, other elements (rocailles, concave mouldings together with convex ones, movement, decorative exuberance...) respond to the Rococo style. In the 18th century in Spain both artistic styles coexisted. Requires cleaning and light restorations

WEDDING CHEST. WOOD, TEXTILE, METAL, REMAINDERS OF POLYCHROMY. SALAMAN...

Chest. Carved wood, metal, textile, remains of polychromy. Salamanca area, 17th century. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood that preserves remains of the original polychromy, corners and other metal fittings and textile details in certain places. It is decorated on the outside with a moulding in its lower area based on curved motifs and a simple carved decoration with a plant theme arranged in a rigid symmetry highlighting an inscription in capital letters on the front (“Long live María / Fernandez”) alluding to the original owner of the piece. On the inside it has no decoration or other elements than the parts of the fittings of the corresponding hinges and the exposed wood. The rectangular, flat-lidded chest model was very common in Spanish art since the Middle Ages, with its decorative elements varying over time and with the styles. The metal elements of the piece of furniture (corner guards on red fabric, lock shield on the front, hinges on the inside, handles on the sides for moving it, etc.) have a decoration of waves and finials that refer to Baroque models, as well as columns (flanking the keyhole). The carved decoration on the front (simplified flowers, stems, leaves and perched birds, with simple polychromy in three colours - red, green, yellow -) is not too fine (something common in popular examples), and follows a composition and colours very common in popular chests in the Salamanca area, with the use of walnut being common for its construction (as in all Spanish furniture, due to the resistance of the wood and its abundance at that time). The addition of a female name in capital letters on the front (a detail that would indicate that this piece of furniture is a chest made to store a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration in a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element worth highlighting in this piece of furniture. A similar model is mentioned in one of the most used reference books on Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. Spanish furniture in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; plate 74; Beautiful example of a bridal chest or chest, popular Spanish style of the 17th century, with rudimentary carvings forming a series of stems, flowers and animals.
