Measurements: 14 x 16 x 14 cm. The piece we present stands out for the use of inlay, an Andalusian technique characteristic of the Spanish Late Middle Ages as an ornamental procedure for furniture and household goods. The term inlay, whose origin is found in the Arabic word tarsi (inlay), traditionally applied to the ornamentation of pieces of furniture with fine fragments of different colors and textures, as well as with other materials such as bone and ivory. We find the origin of this industry in Córdoba, during al-Andalus, it will not be until the time of the Nazari sultanate, when its use becomes popular in noble and courtly environments as a procedure to ennoble objects of the wealthiest classes. After the taking of Granada, even before the conquest, we find pieces produced with the same influence. The Spanish word “marquetry” is usually used as a synonym. Already in the pre Catholic Kings era, an excellent cabinetmaking workshop located in the Medieval Córdoba. A technique that consists of gluing small prismatic portions (triangular and/or trapezoidal) of ivory or bone – in natural color or dyed, together with polygonal pieces of select woods, often of exotic origin (aloe, ebony, sandalwood, boxwood). , lemon tree...), to which fragments of tortoiseshell or mother-of-pearl and even small silver or bronze metal points were sometimes added.

Born in 1817, Watson lived a long and productive life, making significant contributions to both the economic and political spheres of England during his time. Watson was born in the small town of Bowes in County Durham, where he spent much of his early life. As a young man, he worked as a farmer and dairy herdsman, honing his skills in animal husbandry and developing a keen eye for business. He eventually moved to London, where he set up a successful wholesale grocery business, importing goods from all over the world and selling them to local merchants and consumers. In addition to his business pursuits, Watson was deeply involved in politics, particularly in the Conservative Party. In 1885, he was elected to the House of Commons, representing the constituency of Stockton-on-Tees. During his time in Parliament, Watson was a strong advocate for the interests of the working class, particularly those in the agricultural sector. He was a vocal proponent of measures to improve the conditions of farmers and to increase the availability of affordable food for the poor. One of Watson's most notable achievements as a politician was his work on the Agricultural Holdings Act of 1883. This piece of legislation, which Watson helped to draft and promote, provided important protections and rights for tenant farmers, including the ability to negotiate longer leases and to receive compensation for improvements made to their land. The Act was a significant step forward for the agricultural sector, helping to secure the livelihoods of countless farmers and their families. Throughout his life, Watson remained committed to his values of hard work, fairness, and service to his community. He was a generous philanthropist, supporting a variety of charitable causes and institutions throughout his lifetime. He was also deeply committed to his family, and was known for his devotion to his wife and children. James Watson died in 1895, at the age of 78. He left behind a legacy of hard work, dedication, and service to others, both in his business and political pursuits and in his personal life. His contributions to the agricultural sector and to the Conservative Party continue to be felt today, and his example of integrity and commitment to community remains an inspiration to many.
