SILVER TRAY. MATEO MARTÍNEZ MORENO, CÓRDOBA, SPAIN, 1789.

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.

PAIR OF VASES. MARBLE, GILT BRONZE. FRANCE, CIRCA LATE 19TH CENTURY.

Pair of vases. Gilded bronze, veined marble. France, late 19th century Pair of centerpieces or vases that have an oval body carved in veined marble in pink tones (of a type very similar to one that was highly appreciated and often used in French school works during the Rococo of the 18th century) and gilded marble bosses, creating a kind of tripod to hold and enhance the stone pieces. These are decorated with lion's claws on the legs, simple architectural moldings, flowers and female masks with plant elements, as well as a border that extends towards the inner area of the pieces creating like three wings or handles, decorated with plant and architectural elements (scrolls, flowers, bows, leaves, etc.) both on the outside and inside of this area, leaving what would be the inner area of the marble pieces smooth. The classicist inspiration of the decorative elements of the pair is common in works of the French school since the 18th century. Some details (for example, the claws on the legs) are seen in Louis XIV style centrepieces dating from that century, while other elements are more often seen in Louis XVI style works (one of the main styles of the Neoclassical style). There is knowledge of a pair of centrepieces very similar to these vases and of a single piece (also a centrepiece) kept in a private collection in the United States of America. Weight: 7.25 kg.

BANDIT AND MILITARY, PAIR. OIL ON BOARD. LUCAS VILLAAMIL, EUGENIO (185...

Bandit and soldier, couple. Oil paintings on panels. LUCAS VILLAAMIL, Eugenio (Madrid, 1858-1919). They present signature and remains of signature. The present pair of panels shows, on a blue background, two male busts. Despite their detail and naturalism, they are not portraits per se, but rather “paintings of types”, showing the concept that was held at the time of a bandit or a general, in line with certain postulates common in Spanish Romanticism. Eugenio Lucas Villaamil began his training with his father, Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, and continued at the Escuela Especial de Pintura in Madrid. His work was notable for largely following his father's line, with a strong Goya influence in both style and subject matter (he also copied some of Goya's paintings), and he was a protégé of José Lázaro Galdiano. Thus, in addition to his traditional Madrid, bullfights, etc., he was also known for his portraits, his urban prints (of the upper and lower classes), etc. His work is preserved in numerous private collections and institutions such as the Museo del Prado (Madrid), the Museo Carmen Thyssen (Málaga), the Museo Lázaro Galdiano (Madrid), the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid), the Museo Nacional del Romanticismo (Madrid), etc.

DUTCH STYLE FRAME. EBONIZED WOOD. 17TH CENTURY.

Dutch style curly frame. Ebonized wood. 17th century. Rectangular frame made of carved wood and decorated with a series of parallel bands of different widths, alternating plain ones with others of different sizes (waves), reminiscent of basketry. Both in its colour and in the decoration mentioned above, the piece follows Dutch models, very popular during the 17th century Baroque practically throughout Europe, and frames were made in other schools following these prototypes. Compare, for example, with the frame of the “Portrait of a Gentleman” by Hans Memling in the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection (a Flemish piece, made of ebonized wood); or, in the same collection, with the frame of the work “Winter Scene with Skaters and Sleds in Front of a City” by Ruysdael; or with the “Vase of Tulips” by Philippe de Marlier and Frans Francken in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.

ROMANESQUE STYLE CHEST. WOOD, METAL, BONE. SPAIN

Romanesque style chest. Wood, bone, metal. Spain Rectangular chest with a trough-shaped lid, decorated on the outside with rectangular plates of carved and tinted bone in some details (to enhance the figurative and vegetal elements it presents) and with simple metal fittings, finished in teardrop shapes. Typologically, this type of chest, intended to store valuable objects, was common in the arts since the Middle Ages. Given the Muslim presence in Spain, examples were made combining ivory and wood (Nasrid box from the Ancient Monastery of San Salvador de Oña in Burgos, etc.), and examples of ivory are also preserved in caskets in Christian territories (Arca de los Marfils de San Isidoro de León). It is also worth remembering the casket made by Mohamed ibn Assarch that is preserved in the Collegiate church of San Isidoro in León, dating from the Almohad period. Iconographically speaking, the piece would be more reminiscent of Sicilian or Hispano-Muslim objects, given the absence of human figures. Throughout the 19th century, and following a trend that is occurring throughout Europe, a series of works were produced in Spain in all artistic fields inspired by important styles from the ancient history of this country. Thus, numerous objects inspired by Romanesque, Gothic, etc. art were created.

LOUIS XV STYLE WRITING TABLE WITH “FEATHER” MARQUETRY.

Louis XV style desk with “quill” marquetry. It rests on four cabriole legs with a notable curvature, decorated with a band of gilded metal along its entire profile and a lower finial in the shape of an animal paw, made with plant and rocaille motifs. The waist has three drawers in its front made of darker wood than the rest, which also has rectangles with a curved lower profile on the smaller sides; it is worth mentioning the curvatures of the lower part of this area. The upper board, highlighted by a metal band with mirrors in the corners, shows a central area with “quill” marquetry within a band with plant elements. Both decorative elements and the curves of lines and profiles are characteristic of the style known in France as Louis XV (Rococo), which inspired the desk.

R.DOMINGO 1901. \'ARTILLERY MANEUVERS\'

DOMINGO FALLOLA, Roberto (Paris, 1883 – Madrid, 1956). “The Burden”, Paris. Watercolor on paper. Signed and located in the lower right corner. Domingo studied in Paris with his father, the painter Francisco Domingo Marqués, and later at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, where he was a disciple of Antonio Muñoz Degraín. He participated in national and international exhibitions, winning third medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1908, second in the 1910 edition and first in 1915. He also held exhibitions in Rome and London. A costumbrista painter, he specialized in bullfighting themes, which brought him great fame and prestige. Roberto Domingo is represented in the Prado Museum, the Fine Arts Museum in Granada, the Provincial Museum in Cádiz, the Municipal Museum in Madrid, the Bullfighting Museums of Las Ventas in Madrid, La Maestranza in Seville, Valencia and Viana de Cega (Valladolid), the Drawing Museum of the Castillo de Larrés (Huesca) and those of Havana and Hemingway in Cuba, among many others.

ORNAMENTAL MIRROR WITH CREST, 18TH CENTURY.

Cornucopia with a prominent crest in carved and gilded wood, 18th century. Cornucopia with a rectangular mirror inside, decorated in its frame with simple mouldings (some concave, others straight and others convex) without exaggerated movement and, on the outside, some light garlands of flowers. The upper crest stands out, very highlighted, formed by rocailles, curved mouldings, flowers and a vase. This work is of great interest because, while the simple lines to which we have referred respond more to models that follow the Neoclassical style, other elements (rocailles, concave mouldings together with convex ones, movement, decorative exuberance...) respond to the Rococo style. In the 18th century in Spain both artistic styles coexisted. Requires cleaning and light restorations

Bronze sculpture, “Wounded Bull”. Signed “F. Bonilla Villalba” on the base. On a wooden pedestal, the figure of a bull is placed after the banderillas and death stages, as the elements used in both can be seen: three banderillas and the estoque. Thanks to the great quality of the artist, one can see both the moment when the bull is about to expire and bellows as well as the blood that flows from its wounds. The drama is accentuated thanks to the particular treatment of the animal's skin.

SILVER “TEMBLADERA” (CUP). JUAN MONTERO, SALAMANCA, SPAIN, 18TH CENTUR...

Quaking. Silver. Juan Ignacio Montero, Salamanca, 18th century. With contrast marks. Silver quaking coin in its colour, ready on the outside, decorated with two inverted “S” shaped handles and decorated with spikes on the outside. At the base of the piece there are four hallmarks (flanking the hallmark line), which place the piece's production in Salamanca (note the bull), with the intervention of Juan Ignacio Montero; there are two other frustrating marks. Juan Ignacio Montero was a silversmith and hallmarker, and the punch seen here appears to date to preserved works that have been dated between 1759 and 1779, such as a sacra in the Parish Church of San Lorenzo in Segovia (by Manuel Cardeñosa, dated 1767). It is known that he held the position of hallmarker in Salamanca between 1758 and 1781 and that he was active until 1779. He used a punch that incorporated the dates relative to the year, although sometimes the same iron was used in several years. Weight: 70 gr.

SNUFF BOX. HORN, WOOD, METAL. SPAIN, 1789.

Pastoral box. Antler or horn, wood, metal. Spanish school, 1789. Oval box with a flat lid decorated on the outside with a series of elements engraved on the shaft from which it is made. The base has some inscriptions. Under the hinge appears the date (possibly of manufacture) 1789, with the inscription in capital letters “Long live my master Jesus” (who may also have been the creator of the box). The lid has a rather curious scene: a Latin cross, flanked by two spheres (perhaps the sun and the moon, thus alluding to the Crucifixion), and with two arms arranged in an attitude of prayer emerging from the base of the cross, and, below, a human figure praying with two palms on its hands (note the halo); the area is completed by two stripes and a series of bands functioning as a frame. This type of box, of popular tradition, was common in ancient times and was usually made by shepherds or cattlemen themselves to store snuff or tobacco.

Saint Stephen. Oil on canvas. 17th century, after the engraving by Aegidius Sadeler (inspired by Jacopo Palma). The figure of the Saint appears in the foreground, with his arms raised to the sky; to the left of the viewer, the martyrdom of Saint Stephen is shown, under the heavenly apparition of Christ and God the Father; on the other side, there are some buildings and spectators. Both in the composition and in the figures, one can see an influence, directly or indirectly from other paintings, of an engraving by Aegidius Sadeler II (1570-1629) based on a Martyrdom of Saint Stephen by Jacopo Palma the Younger (1548-1628).

Bull. Bronze. Based on the model by BENLLIURE GIL, Mariano (Valencia 1862-Madrid, 1947). Mariano Benlliure was a Spanish sculptor, a precocious creator both in the field of painting and sculpture. He trained in Valencia, Madrid, Paris, Rome, etc., and his name became more or less famous when he settled in Madrid in 1887, obtaining a First Medal at the National Exhibition of that year. His healthy financial situation allowed him to have a great social life, meeting prominent figures of the time. He produced numerous religious, civil and funerary works (Cabra, Madrid, Seville, Navarra, etc.), and his work is preserved in important private collections and institutions.

BRONZE INKWELL. SPAN, 17TH CENTURY.

Bronze inkwell. Spain, 17th century. An octagonal bronze inkwell with eight small holes and one large hole in the centre of the upper part. It has a flat base and decoration on its fronts based on mouldings of different shapes and widths, all smooth and leaving flat areas in the centre of the piece. Around this central hole there is a raised moulding, in a combination similar to that mentioned above. Typologically, the most common form of inkwell in Baroque Spain was square, and they were made of bronze, ceramic, etc. The polygonal shape, although also relatively frequent and apparently more so in the 18th century, is less common. Compare, for example, the polygonal ceramic inkwell from Talavera de la Reina dated to the 17th century that is in the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas (Madrid), or the bronze one with an octagonal lid dated to the 19th century from the same institution, with several ceramic ones and different origins from the 18th century (same museum), etc. Above all, it is worth remembering, due to its similarity to the present piece, the polygonal inkwell with six holes made of bronze and dated to the 17th century that is in the Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid). Likewise, it is possible to see the use of pieces of this type in paintings such as San Gregorio Magno by Fray Juan Andrés Rizi dated 1681 (Museo del Prado in Madrid). Weight: 1.701 kg.
