Console table with lion heads. Possibly Italian school, 18th century.
About the Item
Console table with lion heads. Carved and gilded wood, marble top. Possibly Italian school, 18th century.
A console table with four legs joined by a jamb that ends in a central piece, made of carved and gilded wood, designed to stand against a wall and completed with a light-toned veined marble top that follows the lines of the furniture (curves on three fronts and straight lines on the legs). The slender, molded waist features a raised edge of leaf garlands that join the lion protomes that crown the legs and the flowered scallop shell at the front; the legs, with architectural lines, with volutes at the ends and leaf garlands, are topped with lion heads; the aforementioned jamb also features carved leaves and flowers. Stylistically, both the waist and tabletop lines, the elements of the rest of the furniture, and the material used in it can be linked to 18th-century European works. The lines of the legs (straight compared to other Rococo pieces from, for example, the French school) are reminiscent of pieces based on designs by Daniel Marot (1661-1752), a Dutch architect, furniture designer, and engraver, who were also pieces from the Dutch school. However, it should be noted that his designs influenced numerous creations throughout the continent. It is also worth noting the presence of an 18th-century console table in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, whose general lines (though not so much the decoration, as this is more Rococo than the present one) are reminiscent of this work in some details. Compare also with those of the Church of Santa Maria Nova in Naples (Italy), with those of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, etc. ·

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...
