About the Item

Chapel grille with two fixed leaves at the sides, and double opening leaf in the center, topped with an elaborate crest, all made of wrought and "blued" iron, creating a polychrome preserved in good condition. The bars of the lateral zones, tubular, are decorated with discs of the same diameter. The double door of the center presents bars ballasted to the center flanking a disc and other similar disks up and down; in the lower area, there is a frieze with two opposing "ces" accompanied by simplified plant elements that draw volutes towards the sides; note the small wheels at the bottom of the grid. The crest presents an oval shield with the cross of the Order of Calatrava, enhanced with architectural elements and flanked by vegetal "S-shapped" motifs, accompanied by leaves; to the sides of this central piece appear two columns of ajarronado shaft enhanced with "C-shapped-forms" and "S-shapped-forms" drawn in their shafts. In general terms, there is talk of a division in two stages in terms of Antique grills is concerned, highlighting in any case the high quality of Spanish works of the time both for the number of works and their quality in materials and design. The "grilel Art" of the Spanish Plateresque style repeated elements of the Gothic period, transforming the bars of cylindrical or square section into balusters and recharging the friezes, finials and crests, elements made following the Renaissance style (with preference in the inspiration of Rafael's grotesques of Urbino), and using gold, silver and blue. The second stage, sometimes called Greco-Roman, centered towards the second half of the 16th century, shows more massive and rounded forms that are usual in "classicism", although there are some masters who maintain previous details. In spite of being frequent elements in the houses and other outstanding buildings, they have not conserved copies in good state of conservation in a very abundant number. Compare this example with the Reja of the Palacio de los Cárdenas, dated in 1575 (from the Palace of the Count of La Quintería de Andújar, Jaén, today in the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid), the grills of the Cathedral of Orihuela attributed to Jerónimo Quijano (1,500-Murcia, 1563) by some experts, the gate of the Chapel of the Annunciation or Hernán López of the parish church of Santa María Magdalena de Torrelaguna in Madrid (dated in the last quarter of the 16th century), gate of the Chapel of San Pedro in the Cathedral of Valladolid, etc. Size: Stones: 79 cm (base); 95 cm (high) (each). Doors: 130 cm (base), 230 cm (high) (each). Crown: 349 cm (base), 165 cm (high). Lateral grilles: 80 cm approx. (base), 135 cm (high) (each). Total (aprox): 400 cm (base), 395 cm (high). Depth is orientative. I
