”FRAILERO” CHAIR. WOOD, LEATHER. SPAIN, 16TH CENTURY.

Monk's armchair. Leather, walnut wood. Spain, 16th century. It has faults. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar's chair”, which has leather with studs on the upper part of the backrest (lack of the seat), low, low-profile trimmed jambs joining the front and back legs and middle jambs or side rails (the front one carved and re-cut to create geometric motifs) joining the two front and two back legs, and simple armrests with raised 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 both the 17th and 18th centuries 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.

METAL AND GLASS CLARET JUG OR PITCHER. POSSIBLY WMF, GERMANY. CIRCA 19...

Jug. Glass, silver-plated metal. Possibly WMF, Germany. Circa 1900. With contrasting marks (handle). Jug with a transparent glass body decorated with geometric elements, a circular base, a globular body and a high cylindrical neck, which has a silver-plated metal handle with a “C” shape on the top. It has a decoration of architectural and plant elements with a marked classicist and Renaissance character, as well as a protomos with a horse’s front legs next to the top edge of the jug’s lid. The marks, present on the outer edge of the handle, would surely link the piece to the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik or WMF. In 1853 Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers established a metalworks factory called Straub & Schweizer, which achieved recognition at the London Exhibition as early as 1862, and opened its first shop in Berlin in 1868. In 1880 they merged with Metallwarenfabrik Ritter & Co. to form the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), which is still in operation today. Weight: 0.9 kg.

COFFEE SET. PORCELAIN. ROYAL VIENNA, AUSTRIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY.

Coffee set. Enameled porcelain. Royal Vienna, Austria, early 20th century. With marks on the base of the pieces. Two cups broken. Enameled porcelain coffee set consisting of a tray, six cups and saucers, a sugar bowl with lid and a jug with lid. Although the classicist influence in the piece is clear (golden garlands, shapes, plant elements, colours, etc.), it is necessary to point out that the tray was inspired by the oil painting by George Sheridan Knowles in 1908 and entitled “Summer Pleasures on The River”. Royal Vienna is a certain style of porcelain related to the porcelain made in Vienna (Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique) founded in 1718 by Claude du Paquier, an official of the imperial court in Vienna. It was closed in 1864, but its name was recovered by the Vienna Porcelain Factory Augarten in 1923.
