Devotional medal of Saint Nicholas on a support. Gilt bronze, textile, metal. 18th century. Devotional medal in gilded bronze placed on a support with wires that presents an oval frame enhanced with a crest with vegetal elements in a symmetrical composition and another top below also with vegetal elements and scrolls, and the figure of a saint inside this smooth frame. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical attire, accompanied by some small figures praying, placed in a barrel or bucket. Saint Nicholas of Myra or Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. One of his most famous miracles was that of resurrecting three children (shown in this work) sacrificed by an innkeeper to feed his clients. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here wearing liturgical vestments but without the usual headdress (mitre). The three spheres that appear on the book would allude to the miracle in which the saint helps the father of three girls to gather a dowry for them (as they are three golden spheres).

View of Palencia, Monzón Gate. Oil on canvas. Spanish School (A. Rodríguez), 19th century. It has damage. Landscape showing a town or city wall in the foreground and a tower with a bell gable in the background on the right, accompanied by houses, etc. This type of scene and its workmanship (brush strokes, colours, fondness for ruins, etc.) were common in 19th century European schools, in line with a series of postulates and tastes that arose, in large part, thanks to pictorial Romanticism. The image shows the Puerta del Monzón in the walls of Palencia, with the city's cathedral in the background, in a way very close to how it could be seen in 19th century paintings and in engravings such as a lithograph from volume 9 of the series “Memories and beauties of Spain” (Lithograph "Puerta de Monzón (Palencia)". Taken from nature by FX Parcerisa; lithographed by S. Isla. Lit. by J. Donon, [1861]).

Pair of enamelled porcelain figurines. “The Courtship”. Inspired by models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France). Each figure is placed on its own base: the young lady is carrying a basket of flowers, and the gallant is playing a lute. They are dressed in highly idealized peasant clothes, as if they were for the aristocracy. The subject matter, the high quality of the enamelling and the clothing of the figures denote the influence of works from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France).

Writing desk. Bronze. 19th century. The four containers that make up the writing case are placed on a tray with curved profiles decorated with mouldings and scallops on its edges. The sandbox or sandpit, the feather duster and the inkwell have clear lines and smooth areas, combined with fine mouldings resembling a cord; the oval box with a lid finished in a knob has smooth mouldings on its entire outer surface. Although certain details (particularly the tray) could be reminiscent of certain Rococo works of the 18th century, the toned down movement of the tray, the decoration of the containers, the lines and the lack of prominent decorative elements would be more characteristic of the Neoclassicism of the 18th and 19th centuries, as is the inspiration in styles of the past and the combination of various currents in the same piece.

Short barrel. Iron. 19th-20th century. A short iron cannon with two pieces on the sides for better attachment to the support and a series of rings along its outer surface. Due to its size and these decorative elements, it is reminiscent of ancient artillery such as bombards. These types of pieces were made in the 19th and 20th centuries, inspired by antique examples, primarily for decorative purposes and usually intended for interiors decorated in the Neo-Medieval style, very fashionable in Spain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Medieval cannons, enormous firearms for firing a heavy projectile over great distances, are the archetype of modern artillery. Possibly the first to be used in Europe appeared in Muslim and Christian Spain. The bombard, currently considered the oldest known portable firearm in the West, was a precursor to the cannon.

Figures with a soldier. Oil on canvas. 20th century. In this oil painting, a series of humble figures of all ages are placed to the right, and a soldier on horseback with his back to the viewer (a detail that, together with his posture, prevents any possibility of a heroic sense in the work); in the background, ruins with rocks occupy most of the canvas, leaving an opening to the horizon and a light of dawn to the left. Both in the types and in the composition and the ruins, the influence of ancient Flemish models in the painting is clear.
