About the Item

Bernegal or trembling with handles. Silver. Spain, 18th century. Avocado shaker in its color with a circular base, without base or foot, and a hemispherical body that is wider at the top, which has two handles on the sides. These present two facing C's of different sizes (the largest on top) or in the shape of that, and a decoration based on silver pearls and a bird perched on the upper part (both of the piece located facing the center). In Spanish silverware, the Baroque tendencies were maintained during almost the first two thirds of the 18th century, except in the capital, where Rococo forms were already introduced without displacing the previous ones. It would not be until 1740 when French silversmiths introduced these innovations in Madrid, which would spread slowly throughout the rest of the centers (as a general rule), depending on the areas and masters. This survival of the 17th century shapes can be seen in the handles of the trembling bowl, an abundance of decoration (compared to the rest of the wine tasting) that contrasts with the clean lines of the rest of the work but which is common in this type of work. . The lack of hallmarks makes it impossible to locate the work or the artist, although this is precisely what speaks in favor of a secondary silversmith center, where the lack of control of these works was more common due to the lack of masters and the means to ensure compliance with marking regulations. It does show a fine engraving of some initials on the front of the piece. Bernegales and tembladeras were some of the most common typologies in Spanish silverware in the 17th century (although in the 18th century they continued to be popular, especially in centers far from the main creative nuclei). In the case of this piece, it is the handles that could indicate an American manufacture, although there are similar cases that are thought to have been made in the Iberian Peninsula. Compare with works such as the trembling by Antonio Sánchez dated between 1655 and 1689 from the Convent of Madres Clarisas in Villacastín, others preserved in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, etc. Weight: 213 grams. · Size: 18,5x15x8 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
