Tall wall cabinet with a mirror on the top and drawers below (two display cabinets on the sides with transparent glass doors and another space with shelves in the centre, all three with a lockable key), decorated with carvings, appliqués and shapes reminiscent of plants, with delicate curves and great attention to detail.

Officer's girdle sword, dress sabre or officer's sabre. Solingen, Germany, first quarter of the 19th century. Signed sheet. It has a garnish with decorative elements of a strong classical influence in relief and a pommel with a lion's head on a curve. Note the handles, with two bands with plant decorations. The front of the handle has scrolls, palms and plant elements framed by a figurative theme also classical (possibly a river allegory). The straight blade has the first third decorated with a blued finish and gold engravings (on the moustache you can clearly read "Solingen"), the second follows the recessed edge ending in a point, and the final part already shows the two edges that are common in these pieces.

Sugar box. Silver in colour. Northern Europe (possibly Berlin), first half of the 19th century. With contrast marks. Rectangular box with chamfered corners resting on four claws with nails and featuring a lid with a projection towards the centre and a plaque with engraved initials of ownership. On the outside, it has a frieze of plant motifs above the keyhole. There is evidence of a sugar box in a private European collection with a hallmark similar to that of this piece (the initial A in a circle), being a neoclassical work from Berlin, the work of Gottlob Ludwig Howalt, and dated around 1820. This type of sugar bowls with closure were common in certain areas of northern Europe, taking on an appearance similar to that of this piece following the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte, with which the French aesthetic models spread. Weight: 487 grams.

Rococo frame. Gilded wood. 18th century. Rectangular frame made of carved and gilded wood, and decorated in the corners and the centres of the sides with carvings of architectural elements, plants and rocaille. The contrast between the smooth mouldings of the sections without carvings and the latter, the absence of a crest and the asymmetry present in the piece are striking. The latter was common in the early Rococo period, an artistic style born in France that developed, above all, between 1730 and around 1760.

Saint Francis of Assisi. Painted glass. Spanish school, 18th century. Painted glass showing a man with a halo, holding a skull (of which the viewer can see the lower part). Thanks to this posture and the stigma on his side, he is clearly identified with Saint Francis of Assisi, in an iconographic theme that is usually called "meditating on death" and that has been treated, in a somewhat similar way to the present one, by masters such as Ribera, Zurbarán, etc.

The Fountain. Polychrome terracotta. 20th century, following models by CARRIER-BELLEUSE, Albert-Ernest (Aisne, 1824-Sèvres, 1887). The figure shows a child, lying down and almost completely naked, with his head highlighted by a crown of gold leaves. He is shown with a shell (with touches of gold), taking water from a jug at his side, thus recalling the allegories of rivers or their sources in Ancient Rome. It is necessary to compare this work with the one entitled “La Source” by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, preserved, for example, in the Art Institute of Chicago or the one in the Portland Museum of Art (of which there are a number of variants, changing the characters and the material used). Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was a French sculptor and draughtsman who trained with David d'Angers and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He achieved international recognition after his participation in the Salon des Artistes Françaises in 1861 (Third Medal), producing notable works such as several busts of Napoleon III, the fireplace in the great hall of the Paris Opera, etc. His work is preserved in prominent private collections and in institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, etc. In addition, we must remember his terracottas and his monuments (such as that of Bernardo O'Higgins in Santiago de Chile). It is also worth highlighting the publication in 1884 of L\\'application de la figure humaine à la decoration et à l\\'ornementation industrielles, an important collection of decorative arts of the time, and in 1876 he was appointed art director of the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres.

Desk table. Mahogany wood. 19th century. Rectangular table top decorated with a band of plant motifs on the outer edge, waist enhanced with bands carved with ova and plant motifs of classicist influence and legs decorated with an elegant cabriole shape and carved motifs (scrolls, bows and simple plant themes that extend along the waist of the piece of furniture) finished with very simplified claw shapes holding balls. This finish on the legs also appears in Chippendale examples and in American works and, apparently, was a theme inspired by works from the Far East, replacing the dragon's leg with the sphere with a lion's (thus showing English supremacy) and making it very popular in England during, approximately, the first half of the 18th century, and later recovering it.
