Courtiers and cage. Enameled porcelain. Johann Joachim model. Circa 1800 Enameled porcelain figure with a base resembling rocks and a pair of lovers dressed in 18th century style, with the boy reaching out his left hand towards a large birdcage. The piece is very similar to some figures entitled “Lovers with a Cage” made by Du Paquier (who opened a porcelain factory in Vienna in 1719) in 1737 and of which there are preserved examples in the Metropolitan Museum of New York or the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In turn, Du Paquier took his inspiration from works made in Meissen thanks to Johan Joachim Kaendler around 1736-1740 (varying in details such as the substitution of the table that the German ones have for the cage of the Viennese ones in some examples, or colours, for example). If the present work is compared with the works of Du Paquier, notable similarities can be appreciated in poses, elements, etc., but also important differences (colouring, details, base of the figure...).

Writing case with three inkwells. Silver. Martínez Royal Silversmiths Factory, Madrid, 1845. With contrast marks. Silver writing table in its colour, composed of a rectangular tray with raised, openwork sides and openwork decoration on the longer sides (downwards), and three containers (two cup-shaped) topped with figurative elements. Both the decoration of the elements and their lines show a clear influence of Neoclassical models based on Antiquity. The hallmarks present link the piece to the city of Madrid (Spain), also adding the date and the silversmith. The Royal Martínez Silver Factory was founded in 1778, and represented the introduction in Spain of the industrial manufacturing method in the field of silver work and of neoclassical aesthetics in Spanish silverwork. It was also one of the most important silver centres in the history of Spain, and was characterised by the originality of its designs and the perfect finish of its pieces. Compare this piece, for example, with the mancerina with a tray and acanthus leaves from the same factory dated 1834 in the Museum of History of Madrid, and with other works preserved in private collections.

Pair of spouted jugs. Silver. BENITO GOMEZ, Antonio (1775-1835). Segovia, Spain, 1801-1835. With contrast marks. Pair of small jugs with a circular base with mouldings, a low conical foot and a tubular body ending in a hemisphere at the bottom and with a flat moulding at the top; the handle, in double C, has a simple volute or branch that rests towards the mouth of the piece; the spout shows simple decoration. Typologically, the present pair is linked to a type of spouted jug that, with variations, was common in Spanish domestic silverware from the first half of the 17th century until the beginning of the 18th century, and was also found after this date. As usual, the civil model was quickly assimilated by religious silverware, especially for use in liturgical cruets. Antonio Benito Gómez (1775-1835) was a silversmith who worked in Segovia from at least 1801 until his death, and also a silversmith who worked between 1824 and 1828 and between 1831 and 1835. Son of the silversmith Juan de la Cruz Benito, several of his works have been preserved: a baptismal shell and a small rostrillo for the church of Vera Cruz in Zamarramala, a hyssop found in the church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores in La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia), etc. Stylistically, most of his known work is clearly Rococo in style, although some Neoclassical pieces stand out.

Crucified Christ. Ivory, ebony wood. Possibly French school, 19th century. Christ crucified with three nails, a Crown of Thorns with several intertwined branches and a loincloth with a cord, which is fixed to a Latin-style cross made of wood and with no other decorations than the INRI sign (JESUS NAZARENUS REX JUDAERUM, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) located above Jesus' head. Note that there is no wound on his side. The entire piece is carved from ivory, and the nails mentioned (two in the hands, one for the feet) are made of metal. The piece bears similarities to works from the French school of the 19th century. Although it resembles only in some details (general posture, hands) carvings by Desirée Manceau (act. Paris, late 19th-early 20th century), it is worth highlighting its greater resemblance to ivory crucifixes from the workshop of A. Leroy in Brussels preserved in private collections (loincloth, posture, absence of prominent wounds, etc.).

Queen Anne dresser with mirror. The chest of drawers is supported by four legs and is framed by two columns on either side. It has three identical drawers below and three above (the two central ones joined together in a structure which, when opened, reveals a writing board). The style of furniture known as “Queen Anne” developed in England around the reign of the monarch of the same name (1720s to around 1760), and was characterised by a lack of decorative elements and an emphasis on the lines of the pieces. A number of characteristic elements of this style are still in use today.

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.
