Silver Incense Boat (Naviculae). with Hallmarks. Spain, 18th Century
About the Item
Silver incense boat (naviculae). SANZ DE VELASCO, Juan Antonio (1720-1778). Valladolid, Spain, 18th century. With hallmarks.
The hallmarks on the base place the realization of the piece in Valladolid (note that it is the one which some experts place in time until the appointment as a "fiel contraste" of Antonio González Téllez). The other hallmark present is by Juan Antonio Sanz de Velasco (1720-1778), who acts as a "fiel contraste" in the city between 1743 and 1774/8. Apart from other works conserved by the master (many in private Spanish collections), we must highlight the altar front in silver of the Virgen del Sagrario (Cathedral of Valladolid) of the Valladolid silversmiths Juan Antonio Sanz de Velasco and Miguel Fernández Yáñez de Vega, who finished in the last third of the eighteenth century a work begun in 1693 by the silversmith José de Aranda.
The shape of the piece is the usual in this type of containers to store incense (in fact, the name naveta comes from "nave") since the Middle Ages (naveta of the Condestables Chapel of the Cathedral of Burgos de Juan of Valladolid of the XV century), with variations in the form and in its decorative elements according to its belonging to a center, style, etc. Compare this piece with works conserved, for example, in the Diocesan and Cathedral Museum of Valladolid, another from the Museum of Navarre from Mexico and dated between 1634 and 1666, another eighteenth century silver in its color from the Cathedral of Tuy ( with a very different foot), etc.

- Silver Incense Boat 'naviculae', Possibly Portugal, 18th CenturyLocated in Madrid, ESNaveta. 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...Category
