Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, etc. Mexican school, 17th c.

About the Item

Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, stucco, etc. Mexican school, 17th century. No contrast marks. It has faults. Mirror with a slightly rectangular frame made of wood with polychrome areas and an embossed silver plating on stucco and enhanced with enamel cabochons with geometric elements in dark and light blue. In front there are a series of smooth moldings, one of which is the one with the aforementioned polychrome. The silver stripe is distributed around the outside of the piece, with the corners in exposed wood and smooth silver stripes (two on each side), and a decoration with a certain volume in which architectural elements of clear classicist influence are combined (in the center of which are the enamel cabochons), flanked in the most elongated areas by compositions with scrolls, volutes, plant and fruit motifs. Stylistically speaking, the work can be linked to works in the same technique carried out in Mexico, mainly in caskets. Also, as is usual due to the peninsular influence, it is possible to remember works such as the Holy Thursday Chest from the 17th century from Barbastro.

  • Reliquary Altar. Wood, Glass, Metal, Etc. Spain, 17th Century
    Located in Madrid, ES
    Wall reliquary altar. Carved, polychrome and gilded wood, glass, metal, etc. Spanish school, 17th century. Reliquary altar made of carved, gilded and polychrome wood composed of a part that imitates a curtain of the type usually used to cover altars and other pieces when they are not used, topped by a winged angel head, and a composition organized around a tondo large central stem, from which arise a series of stems ending in scrolls. Some of these stems (eight in total) eventually form a kind of crown of leaves in the center of which are as many circular reliquaries of saints. In this mentioned central tondo there is an Agnus Dei (or Ágnusdei) made of wax. On the visible side there is an image of the Risen Christ (inspired by the one sculpted by Michelangelo Buonarroti around 1520 and found in Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome) accompanied by angels with symbols of the Passion and on a pedestal. This image is known to have been used on these pieces before 1598, again in 1619, and again in 1690. These relics (they are blessed by the Pope) get their name because they are printed on the front, above the book with the seven seals , the haloed Paschal Lamb carrying the banner of the Resurrection. In the text around the image, it seems to include a reference to Pope Pius V...
