Cabinet; Italy, 17th century.Wood, lapis lazuli, agate, jasper marble and bronze.It has an 18th-century base.It has faults, restorations and losses.Measurements: 49 x 80 x 31 cm.Italian cabinet from the 17th century, decorated with hard stones. It is a rectangular piece of furniture that stands on a base in the form of a smooth moulding. The front is divided into three sections separated by a column (the other is no longer preserved) of marbled marble, in Ionic order, with gilded bronze capitals and bases. The side sections, consisting of drawers, are decorated with mouldings, plaques and hard stones such as lapis lazuli, with round handles. The central body, topped by a pediment, contains a gilt-bronze sculpture of a young man holding a lyre, which suggests that it is a representation of the god Apollo. The sides of the cabinet are considerably simpler in decoration, although in the same style and with the same proportions. The decoration consists of recesses made up of inlaid fillets, combining different geometric shapes inscribed in rectangles. It should be noted that the cabernet hides several secret compartments that can be accessed by removing the main drawers.It is a piece that faithfully follows Italian models, in which it was common to combine different materials in search of chromatic and quality contrasts. The markedly architectural structure is also typical of the Italian school and, in fact, even the typology itself, given that in the 17th century the cabinet or desk was the furniture par excellence throughout Europe.

Cabinet; Italy, 17th century.Wood, lapis lazuli, agate, jasper marble, bronze and silver.It shows faults, restorations and losses.Measurements: 49 x 74 x 32 cm.High quality and beautiful piece of furniture with the interiors made of wood. The front is divided into three sections separated by columns of marbled marble, of Corinthian order, with capitals and bases in gilded bronze. The side sections, made up of drawers, are decorated with mouldings, brass plaques and hard stones such as lapis lazuli, with round handles. The central body, topped by a pediment, houses the gilt-bronze sculpture of an adult man leaning on a staff, which could be a representation of the god Asclepius, who in classical mythology was considered to be the god of medicine. The ornamentation of the piece of furniture goes beyond the front, as both the sides and the upper part have a geometrically structured fillet that serves as ornamentation. In addition, the base also has an aesthetic finish based on a profuse relief on the front in laceria and a central border depicting the figure of two animals facing each other. It is worth noting that the cabernet hides several secret compartments that can be accessed by removing the main drawers.It is a piece that faithfully follows Italian models, in which it was common to combine different materials in search of contrasting colours and qualities. The markedly architectural structure is also typical of the Italian school and, in fact, even the typology itself, given that in the 17th century the cabinet or desk was the furniture par excellence throughout Europe.

AGUSTÍN ÚBEDA ROMERO (Herencia, Ciudad Real, 1925 - Madrid, 2007)."Ceria temblor", 1995.Oil on canvas.With label on the back from Fauna's Gallery (Madrid).Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 27 x 38 cm; 40,5 x 48,5 cm (frame).A surrealist painter, framed within the so-called Spanish School of Paris, Agustín Úbeda was a great connoisseur of the History of Art and a man of wide culture. He entered the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1944, where he was a disciple of Vázquez Díaz, Eugenio Hermoso and Joaquín Valverde, receiving the title of professor of drawing in 1948. He made his individual debut in 1949 at the Casino of Alcázar de San Juan, and in 1952, at the age of twenty-seven, he held his first personal exhibition in Madrid, which took place at the Xagra gallery. The following year he moved to Paris, thanks to a grant from the French Institute. After winning two consecutive prizes in the Certamen de Joven Pintura Francesa, a second prize in 1956 and a first prize the following year, the doors of the prestigious Drouant-David gallery in Paris were opened to him, where he regularly exhibited his work from then on. In 1960 he received the Molino de Oro at the XXI Exposición Manchega de Valdepeñas, and three years later he was awarded the bronze medal at the V Biennial of Alexandria. It was shortly before he made the leap, from the Biosca gallery in Madrid, to the United States, the world centre of art at that time. Professor Emeritus of the Complutense University of Madrid and Full Member of the Royal Academy of Doctors, Úbeda continued to receive important awards throughout his long career, especially the Grand Prize for Painting of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in 1980. Likewise, in 1998 the Centro Cultural de la Villa in Madrid exhibited a retrospective that covered his work between 1944 and 1998. That same year Úbeda held an anthological exhibition at the Caja de San Fernando in Seville comprising thirty-five paintings devoted to three of his constant themes: landscape, the female nude and the still life. Úbeda has held solo exhibitions in various Spanish cities, as well as in France, Switzerland and the United States. He is currently represented in the Museums of the City of Geneva and Paris, the Fine Arts Museum of Jaén, the Contemporary Art Museum of Badajoz, the Modern Art Museum of Valdepeñas, the Engraving Museum of Marbella, the Municipal Museum of Toledo, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the Camón Aznar Museum of Zaragoza, the Provincial Museum of Ciudad Real and, in the United States, the museums of New Mexico, San Diego, Phoenix, Lowe of Miami and Evansille of Indiana.
