Baptismal shell. Silver in its colour. Toledo, Spain, 18th century

About the Item

Baptismal shell. Silver in its colour. GARCÍA REINA, Manuel. Toledo, Spain, circa 1730-1751. With contrast marks, it is missing. A shell made of silver in its colour, with naturalistic details, and a top with a cartouche (on which there is an engraved element) and a simplified vegetal shape on one side (it is missing the symmetry to this). The contrasting marks are found in what would be the “ears” or “earlets”. A numerical mark can be seen on the outside. On the inside, hallmarks can be seen that identify the piece as having been made in the Spanish city of Toledo, when Diego Rodríguez de Lezama (or Lizana) was working as a hallmark, to whom the mark on the other ear belongs. The third mark, located under the location mark, identifies the piece as being made by Manuel García Reina, who was born around 1706 in Colmenar Viejo and trained in Madrid with Juan Löpez Sopuerta. He settled in Toledo around 1730, where he furthered his studies with Manuel Vargas Machuca, entering San Eloy in 1733. He was an approver in 1747 and 1755, and it is known that he had a shop since at least 1743 and is documented until 1772. Diego Rodríguez de Lizana or de Lezana was born in Bargas (Toledo) and trained with Juan de Jarauta, joining the Brotherhood of San Eloy de Toledo in 1699. He was an approver of the guild in 1715 and 1718, and worked as a contrast between around 1730 and his death in 1751 or 1754. His works are preserved in San Pedro Mártir, in the parish church of Miguelturra (Ciudad Real), in the cathedral of Lérida, etc. His work is preserved in Santo Domingo el Real, some cruets in the museum of Santa Cruz de Toledo, the parish of los Yébenes, etc. Weight: 98 grams. · Size: 11x12x4 cm

Silver Incense Boat 'naviculae', Possibly Portugal, 18th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

Naveta. Silver. Possibly Portugal, 18th century. Base with counterweight. With hallmarks. Naveta with oval foot decorated with relief elements and moldings, balustrade foot and body with light boat shape, presenting a hinged lid in the front, a widening in the lower area towards the foot and a decoration distributed throughout the exterior base of rockery motifs and plant elements (the same theme is presented on the foot and base) on a background of chopped luster, with an angel's head on two wings in relief towards the peak, accompanied by plant elements (the which protrude from the edge of the lid). Although the shape of the piece follows in general lines the most usual prototypes in these incense containers used in the liturgy, it is necessary to indicate that it was more frequent to find them more similar to a ship. The naveta's belonging to the influence of Rococo is clear both for the lines of the object and for the decoration to which reference has already been made (pebbles, plant elements with movement, volutes with pronounced curves, contrasts between concave and convex lines ... ), as well as it is possible to find some points in common with Portuguese works (presents an auction with an angel head in relief a silver naveta with a spoon by Leandro Gagliardi made in Rome between 1744 and 1750 that is preserved in the Museum of Sao Roque of Lisbon in Portugal, compare with the silver plated censer that the same master made between 1749 and 1751 for the Chapel of San Juan Bautista of the Church of San Roque in Lisbon). The contrast marks present in the upper part of the naveta (the "capitalized" letters in a rectangular space), although it should also be noted that this work does not follow the most striking typology of navetas related to this center (naveta de 18th century silver from the Church of Alcántara de Maranhao, Brazil; naveta by Sebastiao Bernardes dos Santos, dated 1747 from Sé do Funchal, which is kept in the Museu de Arte Sacra Do Funchal in Madeira Portugal...
