PINE WOOD CUPBOARD. SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Cupboard. Pine wood. Spain, 17th century. Two-body cupboard made of carved pine wood, with legs in the shape of a fluted jamb, a lower body decorated with simple panels (like the side ones) on the two doors that close with a key, and an upper one with latticework on the outside. The upper area is a single space, while the lower area has a shelf that divides it into two. The decoration links the piece of furniture with very common shapes of traditional Spanish cabinetmaking.

WALNUT BED FRAME. SPAIN, 19TH CENTURY.

Bed frame. Walnut wood. Spain, 19th century. Bed frame made of carved walnut wood with architectural decorations concentrated on the headboard and the vertical supports at the corners. These carved elements (fluted balusters, knobs, galleries of semicircular arches with paired columns) show a clear classicist influence and a marked inspiration from works of a much older Spanish school.

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).

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).

WALNUT SEATING SET. SPAIN, 19TH CENTURY.

Elizabethan walnut choir stalls. Spain, 19th century. Composed of a three-seater sofa, two armchairs and a wing chair. The wing chair has a high upholstered backrest, in slight contrast to the armchairs (made from juxtaposed ovals), which also show curves. In all cases, the simplicity and cabriolet legs stand out. The lines of the furniture and the small decorative details they present place their creation within the style known as Elizabethan, due to its peak during the reign of Elizabeth II.

Elizabethan sofa. Mahogany wood, textile. Spain, 19th century. Sofa or loveseat made of carved mahogany with textiles in yellow or gold tones on the inside and outside, and soft upholstery with buttons on the inside of the backrest. The legs, with a slight chambrana shape, and the base have a simple decoration based on carved geometric elements, while the high backrests have somewhat more elaborate plant tufts. This type of furniture, with a strong French influence, was common in the Elizabethan period, a style so named because it was during the reign of Elizabeth II (1830-1904) its heyday.

BRONZE CHANDELIER 19TH CENTURY

12-arm bronze chandelier. 19th century Adapted for electrical use, the twelve arms are joined above a sphere, which is fixed to the ceiling by a fixed turned arm with another sphere in the middle of it. The earliest examples of this element date back to the Middle Ages, taken for civil use from their use in churches, and their design began to develop from the 15th century. Made of glass, transparent or coloured, bronze or a combination of both, they were always lamps intended for important residences, both because of their size and the consumption of candles they required.

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). Typologically, due to its decoration, this is a model with a long tradition in the Castilian school, particularly in the Guadalajara area.

PAIR OF SOLOMONIC COLOMNS. GUILDED WOOD. SPAIN, CIRCA SECOND HALF 17TH...

Pair of Solomonic columns. Carved and gilded wood. Spain, towards the second half of the 17th century. Pair of columns made of carved and gilded wood composed of a simple base with smooth mouldings, a Solomonic shaft decorated with branches with vine leaves and bunches of grapes, and a composite capital. The Solomonic column was an element used in the history of Christian art from time to time, although it was a common architectural motif during the Baroque period and, above all, since Bernini used it in the canopy of St. Peter's in the Vatican (finished in 1633), from when it became popular throughout Europe. It soon reached Spain: there are examples in Andalusia from around 1639; in Madrid they can be seen from 1636 (it seems that it was used for the first time in the Church of Buen Suceso); and it spread rapidly throughout peninsular and colonial territories. Although there are examples decorated with flowers (normally in altarpieces of female cloistered convents) or with birds, the most common typology is the one that uses vine leaves and bunches of grapes as a decorative element along the Solomonic shaft, thus alluding to the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Compare, for example, the pair preserved in the Sorolla Museum in Madrid, dating from the 18th century; works by José Benito de Churriguera and his family (Churrigueresque); etc.

THREE LOCKS CHEST. WALNUT, IRON. SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Town hall chest. Walnut wood. 17th century. A rectangular carved walnut chest with a flat lid and simple decoration on its fronts with smooth mouldings of different widths. It is slightly raised from the ground thanks to six legs with a cylindrical base on a flattened circle. On the outside, it has a series of wrought iron fittings (corners with a fleur-de-lis finish), two handles on the sides with openwork fittings and, on the front, three locks with a key with an openwork lock shield decorated with simplified plant elements. On the inside, it has a wooden partition on one side and situated high up, which consists of a rectangular space with a hinged lid and two small drawers at the bottom. The three iron keys have their worked and decorated eyes, with simple decorative elements on that side of the stem or central part and the usual flat keys. Chests with three locks are also known as “Town Hall” or “Council” chests, because both these and those with two keys were often used by religious, military or civil organisations to store valuable objects and documents, securing them by giving a key to each person in charge (as many people as there were locks and keys), so that they had to come together to open the cabinet. In many places in the Spanish territories, it was used as a municipal archive, following laws inherited from a pragmatic of 9 June 1500 with which the Catholic Monarchs obliged the Councils of their territories to build town halls, prisons and have a chest of privileges and deeds. Despite having been abundant in their time, not many examples have reached us because they have fallen into disuse and have been replaced. Compare with that of the Council of Villafranca de la Marisma (Los Palacios y Villafranca, Seville), that of Valdipiélago (León), that of Matapozuelos (Valladolid), that of the Cabildo of Buenos Aires in Argentina (18th century, following previous models), etc.

THIRTY LIGHTS GLASS AND BRONZE CHANDELIER. 19TH CENTURY.

Ceiling lamp in bronze and colourless carved and modelled glass with thirty lights. Late 19th century. It is attached to the ceiling by a hook hidden by a crown with stems, from which the central axis of the lamp, made of glass in the shape of a double baluster, starts. The arms, made of gilded bronze, decorated with architectural and plant elements, start from this. The lights have candle-shaped bulbs. Beads of various shapes (rectangular, octagonal, star, teardrop and pendants with mixed profiles) have been placed all over the surface, joined by discreet metal hooks. The variety of shapes and the quality of the colourless glass should be highlighted. The profiles of some beads (teardrops, polygons, pendants) are found in both Bohemian and French works and in most of the Royal Glass and Crystal Factory of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia, Spain) due to the great popularity of these shapes. The stars or small flowers are much rarer in the preserved examples. The mastery of the cut can be appreciated in the profiles and in the fineness of the modelling of the axis. While the decorative elements of the bronze clearly show influences of Neoclassicism, the glass work is reminiscent of the so-called “Maria Theresa chandeliers”, works based on those commissioned by the Empress Maria Theresa for her coronation in factories in the Bohemian part of the Czech Republic in 1743. This typology spread rapidly throughout Europe, varying in design and serving as an example in the main glass factories up to the present day. Although it is clearly different from the work done in Murano (Italy), the chandelier follows a tradition that has its roots in Bohemia and was continued in France, where as much attention was devoted to gilded bronze as to glass, and whose examples the chandelier somewhat more closely resembles. Similar lamps can still be found in very prominent residences such as the Fernán Núñez Palace (Madrid), Viana Palace (Córdoba), National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid), Paz Palace (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Louvre Museum (Paris), etc.

WROUGHT IRON BRAZIER. SPAIN, 13TH-14TH CENTURIES.

Brazier. Wrought iron. Spain, 13th-14th centuries. It has restoration on one handle. Rear grill. Reference: "The art of the ferro". Barcelona: Santiago Rusiñol, 2007, p. 151, image 137. Brazier made of wrought iron, consisting of a circular base, three flat legs, a body formed by two flat rings joined by vertical sections decorated with simple facing scrolls, and two handles on the top similar to the sections and ending in washers. Inside, it has an iron grill from a later date than the rest of the piece and has a restoration on one handle. It is very similar to another wrought iron brazier dating from the 12th or 13th centuries that is currently in a private collection; compare also with the rectangular one in the Museu Episcopal de Vic dated in the 14th century. The spirals that form the decoration of the piece are frequently called “curly irons”, and are an element very often used in the few examples of Romanesque ironwork and ironwork that we have preserved, and, for this very reason, they will be elements that will be maintained in forging works for centuries after in Spain (the Romanesque model with its volutes lasted well into the 15th century, with some variation). For example, the railings of the Church of Santa María del Camino or del Mercado in León or the one that has been placed in the choir in the church of San Vicente de Ávila, or those preserved in the Diocesan Museum of Jaca (Huesca). As it is a work made with a utilitarian purpose, the lack of decorative elements is normal, as is the transformation of the decoration into functional parts of the brazier. The examples of Romanesque braziers that have reached us are even scarcer than those with ironwork. One is preserved in the Diocesan Museum of Tarragona and another in the possession of the Junta de Castilla, both square but with this same type of spirals, and some more in important museums and collections such as the National Archaeological Museum, in the Cathedral of Tarragona, etc. Weight: 7.5 kg.
