Dining table with oriental door top. Embossed metal, wood, bronze. 19th century and later. Dining table made with a wooden structure reinforced with metal elements and featuring two 19th century bronze doors as a top, for use with a glass top on this element. The bronze door features a series of decorative elements arranged within four square areas, in which a central motif (with birds and peacocks perched on a “Tree of Life” type plant element) is enhanced by a simplified plant decoration, and which are framed with bands of simple flowers and leaves. With four squares on each side, in the centre there is a band with flower buds. Both the decoration and its distribution, and the shape of these bronze doors are common in Eastern traditions, reminiscent above all of works done in India.

Pair of table legs in carved travertine. Both are identical, and have been decorated with symmetrically arranged fleshy leaves, which are more reminiscent of tropical examples than of classically inspired acanthus. The prominence of the natural element in the work is close to aesthetic approaches that appeared in art from the 19th century onwards. Travertine or travertine marble is a sedimentary rock widely used for interior and exterior decoration since the Roman Empire.

Oriental ticket office. Carved and polychrome wood. 19th-20th centuries.

Both the decorative motifs, the colour combination and the appearance (with areas that appear to be lacquered) follow ancient Chinese examples, but it is also possible to appreciate particular differences with what is usual in 19th century Chinese furniture in the West (proportions, combination of decorative techniques).

Walnut winged and claw-foot table, 19th century. The rectangular table stands on four eagle-shaped legs holding balls, with a drawer and two folding tops (from which the name of this type comes). The decorative simplicity of the work is due to its creation as a primarily functional piece of furniture, although the characteristic use of decorative elements from different traditions can be seen, something common in 19th-century art. The legs are very common in 18th-century English examples (“claw and ball” with a cabriolet leg) and the wood from which it is made is the most common in Spanish furniture.

“Gypsies”. Oil on canvas. Signed “A. Briones”. 20th century. Oil on canvas showing a natural landscape in the background, barely sketched, to give prominence to the figures moving forward in the foreground. The man on the right carries a staff on his shoulders and a series of items, and is accompanied by a bear cub. In the centre, a woman walks with a stick on her shoulder, leading a mount loaded with more objects and some children by the reins. The painting shows a family of gypsies on their way to a show in which they would use the bear cub. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the artistic image of gypsies was stereotyped and very scarce, with some engravings, tapestries and paintings such as “Landscape with Gypsies” by David Teniers III in the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The 19th century was the moment of the emergence of the gypsy motif in the visual arts, due to the interest of foreign artists attracted by the “exotic” nature of these people, exhibiting what they considered to be their most folkloric features, especially highlighting works by Fortuny and Sorolla. This work aims to focus on the particularities of the Gypsy people, but without limiting itself to their stereotypes, clearly showing the harshness of their life and the loneliness that it brought with it. Technically, it can be seen its relationship with new contributions that appeared in French painting since the end of the 19th century. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a pictorial movement that appeared in France towards the middle of the 19th century).

The entire set presents a decoration and elegant and simple lines with a marked neoclassical influence. The contrasting marks present on the bases of two containers and on the “tray” or base of the set place the execution of the work in Madrid, providing two different dates probably due to the partial loss and subsequent restoration.

Gate with two passages. Wrought iron. Spain, 17th century. Window grille made of wrought iron with two smooth circular cross-sections in the middle, inserted between the vertical bars. These have a decoration of small discs and balustrade shapes (which add a slight movement) between both cross-sections, facing the compositions to create harmony. The decorative details mentioned refer to 17th century Baroque works in this material: compare, for example, with the balconies of the Casa de Panadería in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid, or with Spanish pieces preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, a confessional grille in the Metropolitan Museum in New York dated 1629 (inv. 57.137.51) and another from the same museum made by the master Francisco González (inv. 56-234.12Ad).
