GILDED BRONZE PROCESSIONAL CROSS TOP. 20TH CENTURY, AFTER EARLIER MODE...

Processional cross finial. Gilt bronze. 20th century. Latin cross with straight arms decorated with tabs between mouldings on both fronts, rays at the intersection of the arms, and multi-lobed finials reminiscent of fleur-de-lis decorated with flowers and palmettes at the ends; on the obverse, Christ crucified with a halo of rays and a loincloth; on the reverse, the Virgin Mary with a halo, standing in an attitude of prayer. Knot composed of various elements (mouldings of different radii, etc.) among which a circular central body stands out, enhanced with small cresting and reliefs with the four Evangelists accompanied by their element of the Tetramorph and situated in landscapes. As can be seen in various elements, the piece is inspired by styles of the past.

Gueridon display case in polychrome and gilded bronze, France, Napoleon III period, towards the third third of the 19th century. The small circular table has a transparent glass top, which reveals the upholstered interior, and a waist decorated with classically inspired garlands on a gold background. The single leg of the piece of furniture rests on three curved legs, decorated with openwork circles and finished with claws. The quality, its simplicity of lines, and the decorative elements place the work in France, during the reign of Napoleon III (1808-1873).

BRONZE MORTAR WITH INSCRIPTION. SPAIN, 1846.

Mortar with inscription. Bronze. Spain, 1846. Mortar made of bronze with a flared mouth and a truncated cone-shaped body that develops without discontinuity and decreases in diameter towards the base. The piece has an inscription (“soi de don Gregorio goia ano 1846”) in capital letters with spaces between them and two areas with lines flanking the text in the upper and lower areas, referring to the owner of the mortar and the year in which it was made.

SILVER FRUIT BOWL 18TH CENTURY .

Cordoban silver salute, 1759-1768. With marks. Weight: 820 g. Silver salver in Rococo style, with hallmarks from Córdoba and the marker Bartolomé Gálvez y Aranda. It has a tall, stepped base, with a circular base, decorated with incised grooves and other simple classical motifs, already announcing the change of language towards neoclassicism. However, the plate itself is still clearly Rococo, with a profile of mitered curves that translate into edges on the eaves. Bartolomé Gálvez y Aranda was a silversmith, although he worked as a stamper between 1759 and 1772, using for this work the punch that we see here: his surname in capital letters, in a very horizontal trapezoidal frame and surmounted by a raised trilobed fleur-de-lis. From 1768, Gálvez y Aranda added the chronological mark to this punch, so this salute would be dated between 1759 and 1768. It is also a particularly interesting piece because it comes from Córdoba, the main centre of Spanish silverwork in the Rococo period, from whose workshops religious and secular pieces of high quality were produced, destined for clients not only locally but throughout the Iberian Peninsula, even reaching the Canary Islands and Latin America. The great diffusion of Cordoban silverwork took place, in fact, in the last quarter of the 18th century, through the so-called master silversmiths. These characters acted as trade brokers, according to Pérez Grande, visiting churches and fairs held throughout the country. The activity of these silversmiths was also favoured by tax exemptions.

SAINT PAUL\'S SCULPTURE. 16TH CENTURY

Spanish school of the 16th century. "Saint Paul". Carved and polychrome wood. A devotional image carved in wood, polychrome and gilded, representing the apostle Saint Paul, dressed in a tunic and cloak, with a parted beard, brown hair and a large sword, his main iconographic attribute. In the Middle Ages, numerous corporations were placed under his patronage, due to different aspects of his iconography, life and miracles. However, Saint Paul was never a popular saint, which proves the relative poverty of his iconography. In fact, the role he occupies in art is not proportional to his importance in the spread of Christianity. In early Christian art, his only attributes are a book or a scroll, and in the 13th century his emblem appears, the sword that was the instrument of his martyrdom. Once the clash between tradition and modernity was overcome, with the arrival of the influences of the Italian Renaissance in Spain, the full 16th century was characterised by the great development achieved by religious imagery. Likewise, stylistically there was a confrontation between the classicist sculptors and those of Flemish affiliation, who sought more dramatic and emotional approaches. Thus, the spread of religious images in Spain was based on two fundamental bases. On the one hand, the fact that the Nordic influence constituted a clearly differentiated alternative to the Italian classicist model; on the other, the emotional sense, which the religious image had to acquire due to its own function, was oriented more towards enhancing the feeling, to moving the faithful, than to following the rationalist dictates of the Renaissance. So much so that in Spain, attention to the emotional had a more relevant character than in the rest of Europe. In this way the image, associated with the words of the preachers, was the most suitable instrument for the indoctrination of the people and for the defense of the canons of the Church, following scholastic and not humanistic approaches.

WEIGHING SCALE. IRON. WIDOW OF JOSÉ MENAYA, VALENCIA, SPAIN, CIRCA SEC...

Scale with weights. Iron. Widow of José Menaya, Valencia (Spain), around the second half of the 19th century. Iron scale made up of a swinging arm with a structure at each end from which hooks hang, and elements in the centre that determine the weight (note the hook to hang it, the needle to measure the weights and the elements that still show traces of gilding). On the front it has an inscription in capital letters (Viuda de José / Menaya Valencia) related to its place of creation. They are accompanied by a remnant of a chain of elongated links and eight circular weights with rings at the top of different sizes. D. José Menaya is given an honourable mention for a collection of scales at the Valencia Regional Exhibition of the Economic Society of Friends of the Country in the “public session of 1867”. It is said that in the second room there are “Scales and safes by D. José Menaya”, and that “the José Menaya workshop” specialised in scales (succeeding Malabouche in this market niche)” at the Valencia Regional Exhibition of 1909. The Museum of Spanish Pharmacy at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), preserves a hand scale with a case by José Menaya, mentioning that he was a “weight refiner” from Valencia, located on Calle Cerrajeros.

SILVER “TEMBLADERA” OR TASTEVIN. 1739.

Pair of silver tasting glasses. 1739. (Along with Ref. z5831) No hallmarks. With inscription on the front. Both identical, each one is made up of a circular bowl with a smooth mouth and a smaller diameter bottom decorated with two S-shaped handles and an inscription on the outer rim that reads: “I am from the noble council of Santiux, to which our neighbor Jul de las Cuevas Zeballos presented us in the year 1739.” Baroque tendencies continued in Spanish silversmithing for almost the first two-thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already being introduced without displacing the earlier ones. It wasn't until 1740 that French silversmiths introduced these innovations to Madrid, which slowly spread to other centers, depending on the region and master. This survival of 17th-century forms can be seen in the handles of the wobbler: the human-headed grotesques are highlighted by vibrant plant motifs, a decorative abundance that contrasts with the clean lines of the rest of the work but is common in this type of work. The lack of hallmarks makes it impossible to locate the work or the artist, although this is precisely what speaks in favor of a secondary silversmith center, where the lack of control over these works was more common due to the lack of masters and resources to ensure compliance with hallmarking regulations. Throughout the first two thirds of the 18th century, the somewhat monotonous nature of the centers of Old Castile (to which Cantabria belonged), León, and Galicia was noticeable compared to the importance of Valladolid and Salamanca, so they may have been made in the Cantabrian area. The inscription clarifies the purpose of the quaking stones: they were a gift to the Council of Santiurde de Reinosa (Cantabria) from Juan de las Cuevas Ceballos, a native of this town and resident of El Puerto de Santa María de Cádiz, who also proved his nobility in 1733 before the Court of the Hijosdalgo of the Royal Chancery of Valladolid. These are therefore two pieces made for civil use, a detail that increases their importance due to the scarcity of this type of work.

ROUND WINGED TABLE. OAK. POSSIBLY SPAIN, 18TH CENTURY.

Circular winged table. Carved oak wood. Possibly Spain, 18th century. Circular winged table made of carved oak wood that has a series of legs joined by chamfers, which have a decoration of channels and small discs, contrasting with the mere undulating shapes of the edges of some of the legs of the piece of furniture and the curve of the upper area of the spaces left on the fronts when folding the wings of the table. The simplicity of the piece links it more with the utilitarian furniture of prominent residences than with examples intended for the main rooms. However, the decorative elements indicated show a clear influence of Neoclassicism and a certain Baroque air, a mixture that is somewhat common in 18th century Spanish furniture. Note that the decoration focuses on the lower part of the piece of furniture due to the custom of dressing tables with rich fabrics to enhance them even more. Although walnut wood was often used in antique Spanish furniture, examples of oak are not too rare, as it is a wood with a showy grain, abundant at that time and resistant. Examples similar to the present one have been preserved in prominent residences and in important collections such as the Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, the Lope de Vega House Museum (slightly older examples), National Heritage Collections, etc.

The fact that the back is unworked suggests that this relief may have originally been part of an important altarpiece, given the size and quality of the piece. Both the movement and the decorative elements of the composition link the work to the Spanish Baroque.

WALNUT TABLE. GUADALAJARA, SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Table with lentil-type leg. Walnut wood. Guadalajara, Spain, 17th century. A table with a flat rectangular top that has a drawer at the front flanked by two smooth corbels or mouldings, and that is made of carved walnut wood, that has four turned legs in what is known as the lentil type due to its shape based on small consecutive discs and that are secured together at the bottom thanks to the presence of a smooth rectangular die in each one and an undecorated wooden crossbar. The drawer at the front, with a key lock and a grooved iron knob, has two carved rectangles flanking the lock hole and high quality dovetail joints that can be seen when it is opened. Compare, for example, the walnut table with disc legs dating from the 17th century that is preserved in the collections of the former Municipal Museum of Madrid; with another walnut and pine platform table with carved drawers and lenticular turned legs from the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, dating from the 17th century; or with a Castilian buffet table from the 17th century from the Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid).

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.

VIRGIN MARY OR SAINT (TO DRESS UP). WOOD, METAL. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17TH ...

Saint or Virgin of dress. Wood, metal. Spanish school, 17th century. It has faults. The female figure is standing (with her right leg forward) on a small polygonal base. Made of partially polychrome wood, note the elaborate work on the feet (which peek out from the “dress”), the hands up to the wrists, and the head and neck. The skull is prepared to receive hairpieces or clothing. As for the carvings of clothing, 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 the entire carving is found, 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 in Maipú (Santiago de Chile), etc.
