CHAIR, ELISABETH II OF SPAIN STYLE. WOOD, TEXTILE. SPAIN, 19TH CENTURY...

Elizabethan style chair. Wood, textile. Spain, 19th century. Carved and polychrome wooden chair with cabriolet legs and openwork backrest decorated with a symmetrical composition reminiscent of the Rococo in some details and Neoclassical in others. The Elizabethan style developed in Spain during the reign of Isabel II, continuing until the end of the 19th century. The furniture, which seeks comfort and a certain ostentation (with relatively inexpensive materials and techniques), interprets in its own way the French Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical styles, with proportions, techniques and details typical of Spain and the 19th century, with a predominance of gilding, polychromy, carvings, etc.

MAHOGANY AND METAL EXTENSIBLE DINING TABLE. ENGLAND, 19TH CENTURY.

Extendable table. Mahogany wood, metal. England, 19th century. Rectangular extendable table with boards and a mechanical system manually operated by crank, made of carved mahogany wood and with metal elements (leg ends, mechanism, rollers). The top board has been left smooth, with a slight recess towards the edges that curves the area and extends to the corners of the piece of furniture, contributing to the comfort of its use as a dining or conference table; the legs have outstanding carving and turning work, with a stipe shape and a reminder of architectural columns due to its combination of mouldings, highlighting the polygonal base and the fact that it retains the small metal wheels or rollers that help move the piece of furniture. Both the wood chosen for the table (mahogany) and the lack of decorative elements (which highlights the quality of the material and the lines) are common characteristics of antique English furniture. Note the similarities with English Victorian style pieces.

Cornucopia. Gilded wood. 18th century. Rectangular cornucopia with a carved and gilded wooden frame decorated with a series of smooth mouldings and a very elaborate top (arranged in a symmetrical composition, architectural and plant elements, scrolls, etc. can be seen). Although the smooth mouldings are very classicist details common in Neoclassicism, the lines, curves and movement of the top are characteristic of Rococo. The combination of both styles of the 18th century is common both in Spanish furniture and in other schools. Requires restoration.

”FRAILERO” CHAIR. WALNUT, TEXTILE. SPAIN, 17TH CENTURY.

Monk's armchair. Walnut wood, textile. Spain, 17th century. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar” upholstered in red and yellow fabric, with fringes on the seat and the lower part of the backrest. The carved decoration of plant elements and grooves is focused on the ends of the backrest and on the front of the piece of furniture; the openwork chambrana between the front legs shows simple geometric shapes and curved details around a carved mask. The friar armchair, originally of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist movement of the 19th century.

VICTORIAN DRESSING TABLE. MAHOGANY, METAL, GLASS. ENGLAND, 19TH CENTUR...

Victorian dressing table. Mahogany, metal, glass. England, 19th century. A carved mahogany dressing table with turned front legs like banded columns topped with vase-like shapes, a drawer at the front and a recessed upper body with three drawers on each side and an enclosed space in the centre under the rectangular mirror, which has been enhanced with openwork plant decorations on the sides and a small tuft of architectural motifs on the top. The Victorian style is known as the style imposed during the reign of Victoria I of Great Britain towards the second half of the 19th century, popular in the country and very influential beyond its borders. The clean lines contribute to highlighting the grain of the wood, of great quality, and refer to a long tradition in English furniture, almost always characterised by fewer decorative elements than French furniture.

THREE LOCKS CHEST. WOOD, WROUGHT IRON, LEATHER. CA 1600.

Three-lock chest. Wood, leather, wrought iron. Circa 1600. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood and covered on the outside with leather and wrought iron fittings (three bolts, corners, two handles, decorations, hinges). Inside, it has a red fabric covering both on the body of the chest and on the lid (an area in which there is embroidery based on geometric elements arranged in a symmetrical composition, including missing details). The type of piece (rectangular box with a flat lid) is one of the most common in Spanish chests and coffers, with examples of this shape being found as early as the early Middle Ages. As for the use of textiles, it was common in Spain as early as the 15th century to make chests lined on the outside and inside, usually in red (the most expensive dyes were red and blue), both to enhance the piece and to protect the contents. Covering the wood with leather on the outside was also common, again to enhance and protect the chest. As for the fittings, the lobed spear-shaped forged iron pieces are reminiscent of examples from the late Gothic period, already influenced by the Renaissance, with some more advanced forms. The three locks have openwork shields decorated with waves and simplified plant elements, and the presence of all three in the same chest refers to a type known as “town hall” or “council” (as there were three keys, it was necessary for the three authorities who had one to come together and agree to access the contents, adding an element of security). It is not very common for this type of piece to be preserved in good condition, and similar examples can be found in some important private collections and in institutions such as the Museum of the Cathedral of Valencia, the City Hall of Los Palacios y Villafranca, the Military History Museum of Seville, etc.

GOTHIC CHEST. PINEWOOD, METAL. 16TH CENTURY.

Gothic chest. Carved pine wood, iron. 16th century. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood and decorated on the outside with a series of divisions into rectangular spaces using smooth mouldings. On the front, these spaces have been decorated with a relief of the type known as “napkin” or “folded cloth” or “parchment”. The rectangular and simple legs still retain some carved detail. In the centre of the front there is a metal lock shield (probably wrought iron) to secure the contents. The relief of folded cloths was common in Gothic furniture, originating in Flanders in the 15th century and commonly used in Spain until well into the 16th century, although there are examples from the 17th century that retain this decorative element. As for the wood, although walnut is common in Spanish furniture, it is not unusual to find examples carved in pine wood. Gothic chests can now be found in several prominent museums: the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid has four Gothic chests from the 15th century (with Gothic architectural decoration and other carved elements); the Lázaro Galdiano Museum has an Italian example from the 15th century with skylights and arches reminiscent of Muslim diamond-shaped panels (Inventory 2141); the Museum of Navarra has a wedding chest made of wood and embossed and polychrome leather from the last third of the 15th century (inventory CE000115); etc. The National Museum of Decorative Arts has an oak sideboard (CE01616) decorated with carved panels “of folds” or “of scrolls”, dated around 1500, and a chest with similar decoration dated between 1476 and 1525 (CE19287).

NEOGOTHICH CUPBOARD. OAK. 19TH CENTURY.

Neo-Gothic wardrobe. Carved oak wood. 19th century. A tall piece of furniture made of carved oak with a dark finish, consisting of a hollow lower body decorated with “napkin” or “parchment” plaques, bands of linear motifs and thin columns, and an upper body with two doors (which give access to shelves with two spaces); between them there are two drawers with fronts carved with plant motifs. Raised on legs decorated with plaques on the front, the doors have a symmetrical composition of stems with grapes (around Gothic-type letters) in a setting of smooth mouldings, decorated ironwork and human figures on pedestals; the sides of this area have “parchment” decoration. The piece is finished off with a prominent smooth moulding. Typologically, the present piece follows a form that recalls certain Renaissance works (especially buffets) with variations that were already common in pieces from the 19th century. As for the decoration, focused on the front, the influence of Spanish Gothic works is clear both in the subject matter and in the composition: sculptures on pedestals and the clothing of the figures, the compositions of the drawers, the presence of those panels with “napkin” carvings, the panels with the stems and grapes, the letters, the thin columns, etc. Likewise, it is possible to appreciate a certain air from Neoclassicism, a common style in the 19th century. At this time, it was common to draw inspiration from styles of the past to create outstanding furniture, such as the present one. Although Neo-Gothic was more frequently used for ecclesiastical works, it was not absent from important residences and other institutions, as it was one of the favourite styles at the time. It is possible to find examples that recall this cabinet in museums such as the Romanticism Museum in Madrid, the National Museum of Decorative Arts in the same city, etc.

CASTILLAN WALNUT CHEST. TEXTILE AND WROUGHT IRON. SPAIN, BAROQUE, 17TH...

Castilian chest. Walnut wood, textile and wrought iron. 17th century. Rectangular chest with a flat lid and no legs, decorated with carved mouldings on the upper and lower edges of the piece of furniture and along the front, avoiding the lock on the front. This is made of metal, placed on red textile, and has an openwork composition based on scrolls and other simplified forms, a decoration that is also present in the rest of the chest's fittings. To the sides, on the front, there are two metal pieces to secure the lid closure; on the sides you can find the handles, common in this type of chest, also enhanced with an openwork iron composition on textile, similar to that of the rest of the elements. Inside there is exposed wood, together with the corresponding fittings (hinges and lock pieces), as well as a division towards one side by a section covered in wood. The various openwork fittings follow a tradition that is already found in chests at the end of the 16th century (compare this example with the 15th century Gothic chest in the Valladolid Museum, for example), but with decorative motifs of Baroque influence: braces, simplified scrolls, curves, etc. The shape of this chest, rectangular with a flat lid, is also the usual one in this type of furniture from the Gothic period, without any characteristic influence of the 17th century being appreciated in this sense. It is necessary to highlight the weight that this typology would have in Spanish furniture, as it would last until the 19th century, especially in Andalusia, with only slight changes, the most notable of which would be the change from decorative elements in openwork iron, as in this example, to using gilded brass studs drawing shields, plant themes, etc. The chest responds to what is usual in Castilian models, totally different from those of Catalonia, Valencia and Mallorca. Although it was the most common piece of furniture at the time, not many examples have survived: compare with the two 17th century chests in the Museo Casa de Cervantes (CE 202 without fittings, CE 145 with them) in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid).

WEDDING CHEST. WOOD, TEXTILE, METAL, REMAINDERS OF POLYCHROMY. SALAMAN...

Chest. Carved wood, metal, textile, remains of polychromy. Salamanca area, 17th century. Rectangular chest with a flat lid made of carved wood that preserves remains of the original polychromy, corners and other metal fittings and textile details in certain places. It is decorated on the outside with a moulding in its lower area based on curved motifs and a simple carved decoration with a plant theme arranged in a rigid symmetry highlighting an inscription in capital letters on the front (“Long live María / Fernandez”) alluding to the original owner of the piece. On the inside it has no decoration or other elements than the parts of the fittings of the corresponding hinges and the exposed wood. The rectangular, flat-lidded chest model was very common in Spanish art since the Middle Ages, with its decorative elements varying over time and with the styles. The metal elements of the piece of furniture (corner guards on red fabric, lock shield on the front, hinges on the inside, handles on the sides for moving it, etc.) have a decoration of waves and finials that refer to Baroque models, as well as columns (flanking the keyhole). The carved decoration on the front (simplified flowers, stems, leaves and perched birds, with simple polychromy in three colours - red, green, yellow -) is not too fine (something common in popular examples), and follows a composition and colours very common in popular chests in the Salamanca area, with the use of walnut being common for its construction (as in all Spanish furniture, due to the resistance of the wood and its abundance at that time). The addition of a female name in capital letters on the front (a detail that would indicate that this piece of furniture is a chest made to store a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration in a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element worth highlighting in this piece of furniture. A similar model is mentioned in one of the most used reference books on Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. Spanish furniture in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; plate 74; Beautiful example of a bridal chest or chest, popular Spanish style of the 17th century, with rudimentary carvings forming a series of stems, flowers and animals.

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.

Baccarat signed chandelier. Glass and gilt bronze. 19th century.
Gilt bronze and transparent glass chandelier with eight lights. The upper part has a series of curved sticks from which hang some glass beads in various shapes (flower, tear). The central axis of the chandelier (made in metal and covered in glass with abundant curves) has a central piece in bronze and glass beads (very often seen in french chandeliers from around the middle of the 19th century and in Louis XVI style). From all the elements of the piece hang a large number of glass beads of various shapes (circular, flowers, tears, oval, etc.).
The Société Baccarat (which continues to manufacture luxury glassware in this French town) began as a glass workshop founded by Louis-Joseph de Laval-Montmorency, with the permission of Louis XV of France, in 1764. They received the first official order from the Royalty in 1823, giving rise to a huge number of petitions addressed to members of European royal families, nobility, heads of state, etc. Towards 1860, the company began to sign its products with a registered trademark, usually recorded in the base of the article, although it was also common for other broncists to use Baccarat glass for its fame and quality.
