Source. Silver. Mateo Martinez Moreno, Cordoba, Spain, 1789. With contrast marks. Silver-coloured fountain, oval in shape and great depth, with contrasting marks and a border composed of smooth mouldings of different widths curved to form waves, ending in four peaks that extend towards the bottom of the piece, thus drawing a series of curves and counter-curves. This form is known as “cut-out profiles” and was a common resource in 18th century Spanish silverwork that followed or was influenced by Rococo models. The marks mentioned (frustras) could place the work's execution in Córdoba, during the period in which Mateo Martínez Moreno worked as a faithful contrast, also providing the date of 1789. Weight: 858 grams.
