Guang Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei. Watercolor. China, early 20th century. Framed painting showing three male figures, with a text on the right side. The one reading and sitting on a throne covered with tiger skin, stands out above all for his beard, but also for his rich clothing. The two characters are situated Standing, they also wear rich (although somewhat less) clothing, and one carries a halberd or spear while another carries an object in his hands. Guang Yu was a military general under Lui Bei during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Period of ancient China, and his life and achievements were so extolled and glorified that he was deified during the Sui Dynasty, emphasizing his exploits further in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and becoming one of the main examples of loyalty and righteousness, receiving worship even today and receiving names such as "Emperor Guan" or "Lord Guan". Together with Zhang Fei shared a brotherly relationship with Lui Bei, and accompanied him on some of his early exploits. Weight: 9 kg.

Box or casket with royal monogram. Mahogany wood, metal. Spain, 19th century. It has slight damage. Rectangular box with a flat lid and a keyhole on the front, decorated with metal applications on the corners, edges, handles, etc. Below the keyhole there is a fleur-de-lis. The lid has a central motif with fleur-de-lis and a crowned M, and alternating crowned castles and lions in the corners. This emblem (and the fact that it is accompanied by lions and castles, alluding to Castilian heraldry) is reminiscent of the royal monograms that all members of the royal family apparently had in the past to mark their belongings. In this case, it is possible that it refers to Maria Cristina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (Palermo, 1806-Sainte-Adresse, 1878), wife of Ferdinand VII and regent during the minority of Isabel II. However, we must remember Maria Cristina of Habsburg-Lorraine or of Austria (1858-1929), wife of Alfonso XII. The emblem of Maria de las Mercedes de Orleans and Bourbon (Madrid, 1860-1878), wife of Alfonso XII, used to appear with two capital “Ms”.

Bronze sculpture “Cupid”. Inspired by models by Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau (1834-1917). Marble base Lost wax casting. The figure of the child is identifiable by his wings and the bow he holds. Cupid appears half-naked, with his quiver at his feet and a tree stump behind him. The work is based on models created by a member of the well-known Moureau family: Mathurin exhibited for the first time at the Paris Salon in 1848, and was awarded a Medal of Honour in 1897. His work, inserted in this appreciated family style, shows a series of peculiarities that are still maintained in this sculpture.

Set of seven enamelled porcelain figurines. “Soldiers”. Inspired by 19th century European porcelain models. Each of the figures in this set features the uniform characteristic of a military unit, clearly showing the change in uniformity that took place at the beginning of the 19th century. Already in the time of Napoleon Bonaparte, the main European porcelain factories (Meissen, Sèvres, Capodimonte, etc.) created numerous figurines with the characteristic uniforms of each nation. It is from these works that the set is inspired.

18th century ponderal weight. Bronze. Incomplete bronze ponderal, with the container vessel and two of the smaller ones, all cold decorated with incised and stamped motifs, simple edges on the small vessels and more complex borders on the container vessel. Nested cup weights are a set of cup-shaped weights that fit precisely inside each other. A complete set is one that retains all its original cups. The largest, called the keeper, consists of an upper lid with a handle and a closure, and weighs exactly the same as the sum of all the others. The second in descending order weighs half as much as the keeper, and the same as the sum of the rest. This proportionality is maintained until the last weight, called the disk or last piece, which is usually solid and closes the set. This principle remained unchanged until the introduction of the decimal metric system.

Pair of 19th century miniatures. “Portrait of a Lady” and “Portrait of a Gentleman”. With illegible signature. Carved and gilded wooden frames. Pair of miniature portraits, representing a lady and a gentleman from the 19th century, surrounded by magnificent carved and gilded wooden frames, of Baroque inspiration, based on curled acanthus leaves. Miniature painting, especially portraits, developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. These were mainly paintings fitted into objects such as medallions, table clocks or small boxes. They were produced using a wide variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, tin or ivory, washes on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolours on ivory. This delicate art was lost from the second half of the 19th century, in parallel with the development of photography.
