Pair of iron fireplace andirons, consisting of a horizontal piece to be placed under the firewood and another decorative part at the front (this one made up of a rectangular plate ending in two facing volutes and another vertical piece reminiscent of a column and ending in a flat disk).

Framed miniature; “Holy Family”. Wood, paint. 18th century; later framing. The oval frame of carved and gilded wood has smooth mouldings and an openwork top with scrolls and simplified plant details. On one side, a three-quarter view of Saint Joseph is shown, wearing a tunic and habit, holding the flowering staff and carrying the naked, reclining Baby Jesus in his arms. On the other side, also in three-quarter view, a miniature of the image of Our Lady of Solitude of La Victoria in Madrid can be seen (or of a Solitude inspired by this, which was the first image of this devotion in Spain). Stylistically, both images are strongly influenced by models and iconographies of the Spanish Baroque, as was common in 18th-century Spanish religious art (compare, for example, with “Saint Joseph with Baby Jesus” by Murillo, kept in the Auckland Art Gallery, or with the work on the same subject by Alonso del Arco, now in the Museum of Navarre). The main image of the devotion to Our Lady of Solitude was the sculpture by Gaspar de Becerra (which was in the Convent of Our Lady of Victory in Madrid and later in the Collegiate Church of San Isidro, where it was lost), which was used as inspiration for a large number of paintings and sculptures. This type of miniatures decorated with religious images were usually used as elements of personal devotion.

Lamp. Bronze. 19th century. Lamp with a circular vase decorated with a series of classicist decorative mouldings at the bottom and an oval shape from which a ring hangs, and another moulding at the top joining three winged angel heads. From the back of these emerge three chains of polygonal links that go to a piece through a decoration of palms and scrolls, which ends in a ring to go to the ceiling. Also sometimes known as votive lamps due to their frequent presence in churches, these types of lamps were outstanding pieces. Compare, for example, the one in San Antonio de la Florida (Madrid) by Domingo Urquiza dated 1799.
