About the Item
Tembladera or bernegal with property inscription. Possibly Spanish American, 18th century.
Silver trembling dish in its color with a wide and circular base and a mouth of greater diameter than this, body with a fine line engraved towards the edge and an inscription of ownership on the front (Lucas Vilacha) made with small dots. It also has two handles decorated with vegetal and grotesque elements with human heads, with shapes similar to lions or dogs visible at the top.
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 slowly spread to the rest of the centers, depending on the areas and masters. This survival of the 17th century forms can be seen in the handles of the tembladera: the grotesques with human heads are very prominent, a decorative abundance that contrasts with the clean lines of the rest of the work but which is common in this type of jobs. 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. 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. It is worth mentioning that there is evidence of the baptism of a Lucas Vilachá in 1783 in Lanza (La Paz, Bolivia). 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.
