Pair of wrought iron fork locks. 17th century. Pair of forged iron fasteners of the so-called “fork” type due to their shape. This type of piece was used in furniture to secure tables, both those in dining rooms and in bureaus or desks, and for this reason it is a very common piece of forged iron. The spirals and the balustrade parts date both to the Baroque period.

Catavinos or quaking glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two curved flat handles decorated with simplified plant elements, and a line of mortise (gallon-shaped shapes) on the edge enhanced by bands of sunken dots that remain in relief on the inside of the piece, where they extend and frame the decoration on the bottom. In this area there is a flower, enhanced with a line of dots. Bernegales and mortise containers were frequent pieces in Spanish silverware in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. Compare with pieces such as the silver bernegal from the last third of the 17th century in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (perhaps from the Portuguese school; inventory 3916), or the one dated between 1640 and 1665 from the same museum (inventory 3910), or the one by José Jiménez de Illescas (inventory 3915, dated 1715-1725) in the same institution.

Quaking glass or wine-tasting glass. Silver. 18th century. Vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with two flat handles in the shape of a “C” topped by volutes and decorated with wavy elements on the outside, which has a decoration on the edge (on the outside) of simple plant elements alternating with simple geometric elements made with lines and dots. On the bottom, on the inside, there is a plant element. In Spanish silverwork, the Baroque trends were maintained for almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It was not until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these novelties in Madrid, which would slowly spread to the rest of the centres, depending on the areas and masters. This survival of the forms of the 17th century can be seen in the fact that bernegales tembladeras were, in general, more common pieces in the 17th century, remaining during the 18th century relegated to centres far from the main areas of creation. Weight: 91 grams.

Landscape. Oil on canvas. GARCÍA LESMES, Aurelio (Valladolid, Spain, 1884-Mexico City, Mexico, 1942). Signed (lower right area). Aurelio García Lesmes was a Spanish painter who began his training in Valladolid and, thanks to a pension from the Provincial Council, continued his training at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, the city where he became better known at National Fine Arts Exhibitions (he won a Third Medal in 1917; Second in 1922 and First in 1926). In the capital he met Valle-Inclán, Ricardo Baroja, Darío de Regoyos, etc., and alternated his stay here with long periods in Valladolid, where he worked on his well-known canvases of Castilian fields. Over time, he established himself as one of the most prestigious Spanish landscape painters of his time and established his workshop in Valladolid. After the Civil War he went into exile in Mexico. His work can be seen in prominent institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), the Museo Patio Herreriano (Valladolid), etc.

Vase in glazed porcelain with a hand-painted pastoral scene. Inspired by models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres The lines of the work and its decorative elements are inspired by classical antiquity: the pineapple on the lid, the crowning of the vase with ova, the vegetal scrolls on the pedestal, the four female masks decorating the handles, etc. All of this, in addition to its characteristic blue colour and the idealised pastoral scene on the front, clearly show the relationship with Neoclassical models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France).

Pastoral box. Carved horn, wood, metal. Spanish school, 1861. Submits registrations. Oval box made of antler carved in its colour, with wood on the lid to reinforce it, decorated on the outside with a series of engraved elements. On the base there is an animal or monster, on the lid there is a monstrance or ostensorium with a cross in the centre and a large base with geometric elements, surrounded by angular shapes acting as a frame. Under the antler hinge there is the date of the piece's creation (1861) and, between two bands of angular elements, an inscription (I am from francys / inverted d / a rhombus / poios), alluding to the owner (and possibly the craftsman) of the work. This type of box, of popular tradition, was common in ancient times and was usually made by shepherds or cattle breeders themselves to store snuff or tobacco.

Side table or “guéridon”. Mahogany, gilt bronze, onyx (possibly from Algeria). France, towards the end of the 19th century. Octagonal mahogany side table with a top made of light-coloured onyx or onyx. It has four legs joined at the bottom with a curved frame, which are joined in a central piece topped by a small vase-shaped piece.

Stylistically, the table shows a strong French and neoclassical influence, with elements (the pendants) considered to have an orientalist touch.
