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.

Quaking glass or wine-tasting glass. Silver. 18th century. One handle is missing. A vessel known as a catavinos or tembladera (as it has no foot) made of silver in its colour with a flat handle curved in the shape of an “S” decorated with simplified plant elements, and a line of mortise-shaped pieces (gallon-shaped shapes) on the edge enhanced by a smooth band. Towards the inside it has strings of pearls and dots, and a cross on the bottom. Bernegales and mortise-shaped pieces were frequent 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.

Peace-bearer. Bronze. 16th century. Bronze peace-holder with an asymmetrical “S” handle on the back, which features a slightly raised decoration on the front framed in an architectural composition decorated with elements of classical influence (a scallop shell at the top, plant elements in the upper area, columns with decorated shafts, architrave, base with semicircular arches, etc.), which has a heraldic shield in the centre of the lower area. Under a winged angel's head, the central theme of the peace-holder is presented: Lamentation over the body of the dead Christ, with the cross in the background, Mary with Christ, flanked by two figures. The heraldic shield is very similar to that of the House of Mendoza used by Íñigo López de Mendoza y de la Vega, 1st Marquis of Santillana, and progenitor and head of the Ducal House of Infantado (which also features it).

Cup on column in black marble Both the profiles of the cup and the column, very similar to the Doric order, show a marked influence of examples from classical antiquity, more of the Roman order due to its freedom in combining certain elements and proportions than of the Greek order, which was more rigid with architectural norms. This type of work was widely used since the Renaissance in the decoration of the interiors of palaces and outstanding gardens.

Monk's armchair. Walnut wood, textile. Spain, 17th century. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar” upholstered in red and yellow fabric, with fringes on the seat and the lower part of the backrest. The carved decoration of plant elements and grooves is focused on the ends of the backrest and on the front of the piece of furniture; the openwork chambrana between the front legs shows simple geometric shapes and curved details around a carved mask. The friar armchair, originally of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist movement of the 19th century.
