Two silver pitchers set. Benito Gómez, Antonio. Segovia, Spain, 1831-1835.

About the Item

Pair of pitcher jugs. Silver. BENITO GOMEZ, Antonio (1775-1835). Segovia, Spain, 1801-1835. With contrast markings. Pair of spouted jugs with a circular base with moldings, a low conical foot and a tubular body finished in a hemisphere at the bottom and with a flat molding at the top; the handle, in double ce, presents a simple scroll or branch that rests towards the mouth of the piece; the beak shows a simple decoration. Typologically, this pair is linked to a type of spouted jug that, with variations, is common in Hispanic domestic silverware from the first half of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century, also found after this date. As usual, the civil model was quickly assimilated by religious silverware, especially for its use in liturgical cruets. Antonio Benito Gómez (1775-1835) was a silversmith who worked in Segovia from at least 1801 until he died, and was also a silver marker carved between 1824 and 1828, and between 1831 and 1835. Son of the silversmith Juan de la Cruz Benito , several works by his hand have been preserved: baptismal shell and rostrillo for the church of Vera Cruz in Zamarramala, a hyssop found in the church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores in La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia), etc. Stylistically, most of his known work is clearly reminiscent of Rococo, although some Neoclassical pieces stand out. · Size: 8,5x5,5x8 cm Weight: 185 gr.
