About the Item
Scribe with four inkwells and bell. Silver. Madrid, Silversmiths Martínez, 1819.
With contrast marks.
Notary of silver in its color composed of a rectangular tray (raised on four claw-shaped legs and with smoothed corners), four containers (two with holes in the lids, two without them) and a bell in the center. Both the decorative elements (very few in number) and the lines of the different elements respond to a clear influence of European Neoclassicist models.
Contrast marks can be found on the bases of the four containers and on the tray. These link the piece with the city of Madrid and with what is known as Platerías Martínez. The Real Fábrica de Platería de Martínez was founded in 1778, and marked the introduction in Spain of the industrial manufacturing method in the field of silver work and neoclassical aesthetics in Spanish silverware. Likewise, it was one of the most important silversmith centers in the history of Spain, and was characterized by the originality of its designs and the perfect finish of its pieces. Compare, for example, with the pieces preserved in the Museum of History in Madrid, although models similar to the present one are found in private collections.
