Classic corbel in marble dust. Under a simple moulding, a scroll with an open centre has been placed, revealing a curved shape in another colour whose lines it follows. This two-colour scheme can be seen in other architectural details of the corbel, such as the oval shield with scrolls in the lower area, or the three drops in the centre. Although the inspiration in elements from Antiquity is clear, these have been used freely, giving rise to a highly original work of art.

Armchair. Walnut wood, upholstery. Spanish school, 18th century. A carved walnut armchair or chair with an upholstered seat featuring a high, openwork backrest decorated with simplified architectural and plant elements, wavy arms finished in a scroll and joined to the backrest and seat, cabriolet-shaped front legs finished in claws with spheres, and straight rear legs secured with a smooth chamfer. The seat has a cut-out decoration in its lower area. Aesthetically, it is reminiscent in certain details of furniture from the English school, but, as is usual in 18th-century Spanish cabinetmaking, it also shows French influence.

Cylindrical “turner’s test” box, 17th-18th century. Cylindrical box decorated with different bands and a lid with a carved star. On the base there are a series of inscriptions that allude to the purpose for which it was created: these types of pieces were tests of mastery for apprentice turners, which they had to take in order to pass certain exams within the guild to which they belonged. Many of these works are not preserved because they are more practical than decorative and not commissioned by a client, but their interest is undeniable for this very reason.

Interior. Oil on panel. GIFFEN CAULDWELL, Leslie (United States of America, 1861-1941). Signed (bottom left and top right). Oil on panel showing an interior with a series of objects (a shelf, part of a wall, pieces of ceramic or porcelain, etc.) with a treatment derived from certain contributions from European avant-garde art, as can be seen in the framing of the scene, the predominance of colour over drawing, the brushstrokes, etc. Leslie Giffen Cauldwell was a painter born in New York (USA) who trained at the Académie Julian in Paris (France) under Gustave Boulanger and Carolus-Duran and exhibited his work at the Salons of 1885 and 1888.

“Catavinos” or bernegal. Silver. 20th century. Vessel of the type known as “tembladera” with two circular handles decorated with very simplified plant elements and a scalloped body reminiscent of the pieces called “de bocados”. Bernegales and tembladeras de bocados were frequent pieces in Spanish silverware in the 17th century, usually being relegated to centres of somewhat less importance in the 18th century. During the 19th and 20th centuries, it was common in silverware and the rest of the arts to be inspired by styles of the past for the creation of numerous pieces, such as this one. Weight: 151 gr.

Acetre. Bronze. 16th century. Bronze piece with a circular base and a circular body with a mouth that extends outwards at the top and a relief decoration in this last area with masks that recall certain Renaissance pieces with Medusa (the rings for the handle emerge from two of these elements). This acetre, a vessel for holy water also known as a situla, is a piece that, in this religious context, appeared in the West in the Middle Ages. The present example is inspired by Renaissance pieces both in its lines and its decoration and, therefore, is also reminiscent of works from Ancient Rome (situla from the Landesmuseum in Hannover, etc.).

Door knocker. Wrought iron. 16th century. Door knocker made of wrought iron and made up of several pieces, among which the main one stands out. It has two bands that start in parallel and then separate to form two facing volutes joined in this area by a rectangular piece, also showing several engraved lines that highlight these elements. The use of wrought iron volutes was common since Romanesque times, and we can speak of an evolution in this element over time. The present example belongs, due to its shape, to a type of handle or knocker known as “scissor”.
