Portapaz. Silver in its color and gilded. Century XVI. Portapaz made of silver that has a handle (decorated with delicate plant motifs similar to those of the pilasters) and a female and a male bust at the bottom, as well as other architectural elements on the back, and, on the front, an architectural composition classicist basement (with busts flanking a flower and a cross), two pilasters (vegetal decoration and capital recalling the composite order) with entablature (flowers flanking an angel's head; moldings), and a semicircular arch finish with elements veined in relief under cross and flanked by two architectural motifs in the upper part. This composition frames and enhances a gilt silver relief where you can see the Lament or Cry over the Body of Christ, with the Virgin holding the head of Jesus, Saint John at her side, the Magdalene and other characters, a cross following the group and a landscape background with houses and plant elements. This architectural structure mentioned is similar to the one present in other 16th century portapaces, such as that of the Magdalena de Dos Hermanas parish (Hernando de Ballesteros el Mozo, around 1575); or that of the Galaroza parish (same author and date); or that of the portapaz of San Miguel de Jerez de los Caballeros (in some details); etc. As for the relief, it is possible to clearly see a strong Italian influence, and the similarity between it and important pieces such as the Portapaz known as “de Cisneros by Juan de Burgos (1493-1497; MuseoCatedralicio de Alcalá de Henares), as well as in paintings and reliefs. Also noteworthy are both the male and female busts in the lower area and the Maltese cross (or Saint John's) that appears in this area. This symbol was used since the 12th century as an insignia by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, also known as the Order of Malta...

An exceptional Italian Neo-Renaissance carved walnut secretary commode, dating to circa 1880, features a monumental hand-carved facade with biblical reliefs. This rare Italian Neo-Renaissance carved walnut secretary commode represents the absolute pinnacle of late nineteenth-century Italian historicist cabinetmaking. To someone who has not seen this piece in person, it can be described as an architectural masterpiece that commands the room. It is a substantial three-door case piece that harmoniously combines a deep chest of drawers with an integrated drop-front writing desk. The entire front surface is covered in rich, multi-layered high-relief carvings, displaying incredible depth, dramatic texture, and a warm, lustrous original patina. What makes this Italian Neo-Renaissance carved walnut secretary commode truly special and worth its premium price is the museum-quality artistry of its execution. Every element is carved from solid walnut wood rather than being applied. The central drop-front panel features a breathtaking, highly detailed biblical scene depicting Jacob wrestling the Angel, framed by classical Corinthian columns. Above this scene, an intricate openwork pierced carving shows a classical urn overflowing with fruit, flanked by winged mythical chimeras. The piece is further elevated by classical Roman-style bust portraits, angelic putti, fierce satyr masks, and full-length corner stiles featuring caryatid figures. The entire structure stands securely on magnificent, heavily carved lion paw feet, symbolizing strength and nobility. For a potential buyer, several practical details are highly useful to know. This multi-functional piece offers exceptional utility, featuring three wide, deep drawers in the lower commode section, a fully fitted secretary interior with three additional small drawers, and two separate side compartments with sturdy wooden shelves for ample storage. The drawers and doors operate smoothly, and the piece retains its original, beautifully patinated brass handles and hanging pulls. Regarding installation and maintenance, this heavy, solid walnut cabinet should be placed on a level floor, and it is recommended to clean it solely by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying high-quality clear beeswax to preserve the historic finish. While the specific master cabinetmaker or workshop signature is not present, this item fits perfectly into the grand tradition of Northern Italian Renaissance Revival craftsmanship of the late nineteenth century. During this period, prominent workshops in Florence and Milan competed to create palatial furniture...
