Bernegal. Silver. Peru, 17th century. A silver-coloured tembladera or catavinos, with “S”-shaped handles (or “C”-shaped handles with a lower finish) with volutes and masks, and the rest of the piece plain. Bernegales and tembladeras were the most common types of silverware in 17th century Spain (although they continued to be popular in the 18th century, especially in centres far from the main creative centres). In the case of this piece, it is the handles that could indicate an American manufacture, although there are similar cases that are thought to have been made in the Iberian Peninsula. Compare this piece with works such as the tembladera by Antonio Sánchez dated between 1655 and 1689 from the Convent of the Clarissan Mothers of Villacastín, others kept in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, etc. Weight: 270 gr.
