Neo-Gothic clock. France, ca. 1840.Bronze.Wooden base.With First Empire movement.Measurements: 66 cm. high.Table clock in bronze, with an architectonically inspired design.

The Roman numerals and black baguet-type hands stand out against the gilt background.

Louis XVI table clock. France, ca. 1770.Mercury-gilt bronze and marble. Hand-painted enamelled dial.Paris movement running.Measurements: 34 x 34 x 15 cm.This table clock has a marble base ornamented with floral reliefs, on which the clock itself rests, with a hand-painted enamel dial and Arabic numerals. The structure rests on six small button-like legs. Resting on this clock is a beautiful sculptural group featuring a young robed lady, a small dog and a cherub with graceful features. The decorative nature of the piece is enhanced by the beautiful mercury-gilt bronze work, as well as the floral forms and lacework that complete the composition. Formally, the figuration is directly inspired by ancient classical art, a constant reference in the arts of this period.

Important cabinet Napoleon III. France, late 19th century.Satinwood. With marquetry of fruit wood and boxwood, ebonised wood, mother-of-pearl inlay and gilt and patinated bronze applications.Measurements: 190,5 x 125 x 39 cm.French Cabinet of Napoleon III style, dated at the end of the 19th century, raised on table with stipe legs connected by means of chambrana. The furniture stands out for its classical forms, which are adapted to a dynamic ornamental pattern, in which the interplay of volumes and materials provides great expressiveness, breaking with the rigidity of the most purist classicism. The cabinet itself has a prismatic structure, typical of this typology, and has two large hinged doors that conceal two shelves inside. The exterior of the cabinet is richly decorated with marquetry, with Renaissance-inspired candelieri ornamentation, which was widely used in France and Spain in different artistic periods. It is a highly stylised, variegated decoration made up of vegetal elements that resemble candelabra, an aspect that determined the term 'candelieri' as it is known in Italian. The exceptional nature of this piece is further enhanced by the mother-of-pearl inlay that completes its front, as well as the gilt-bronze floral motifs that complement the design. In the Napoleon III style, the whole piece is decorated with gilt and patinated bronze applications which, like the rest of the decoration, are continued on the sides of the piece. These are plant motifs that run along the upper friezes on both sides of the table and the cabinet itself. The decoration culminates in certain ebonised elements, both on the legs and on the profile that delimits the candelieri decoration on the front, which increase the dynamism and the play of materials that dominate the entire piece of furniture.
Set of consoles with mirrors, Louis XVI style, mid-twentieth century.Gilded and polychrome carved wood and marble.The marble shows wear.Measurements: 73 x 270 x 118 cm.Set consisting of two consoles and their respective mirrors. All the pieces of furniture have the same design, based on a warped leg that comes out in the central front area. This has a carved and gilded design with geometric and vegetal motifs of classicist inspiration. This ornamentation is repeated on the waist of the table, which is below the black marble top. It is worth noting, however, that two large garlands emerge from this waist. The mirror has a rectangular structure.
Baroque writing desk. 17th century. Spain.Desk made of walnut, boxwood, tortoiseshell and chiselled and dyed bone plaques.Measurements: 46 x 67.5 x 25.5 cm. (desk), 77,5 x 91 x 52 cm. (table)17th century Baroque style writing desk with the typical characteristics of this piece of furniture. It has the typical Baroque structure, prismatic, with a simple decoration in bone and tortoiseshell, based on marquetry, combining geometric forms inscribed in rectangles. The sample is organised into three sections, the lateral ones each occupied by three drawers, and the central one with two drawers. One of small size in the lower area and an upper one with a rounded structure in the upper part, which is decorated with a chiselled bone frontal. Each of these rectangular boxes combines an inner tortoiseshell veneer, outlined in chiselled bone with classical vegetal motifs, and an outer moulding of ebonised wood. The central temple is the richest element, and is decorated with a mock-architecture made from incised and cut-out plates of bone. The sides and top of the desk continue with this geometric design based on incised bone, which maintains total coherence within the piece.It also has a 19th-century lyre-legged table with curved iron legs. The same geometric design in bone is repeated on the tabletop as on the sides and top of the desk.
Office table, Louis XVI style, mid-twentieth century.Wood, brass and bronze.Key preserved.The top is warped, the top is broken, with faults and loss of brass.Electrified table.Measurements: 75 x 201 x 91.5 cm.Electrified wooden desk with drawers with brass handles. It has a rectangular top, supported by four rectangular section legs, with drawers at the front. It has a structure of refined lines, softened by simple contours, which give the forms a certain organic appearance without renouncing the expressive power of geometry. This formal conception was characteristic of Louis XVI style furniture.
Napoleon III Table. France, late 19th century.Wood, with fruit wood marquetry and bronze applications.Measurements: 74 x 128 x 76 cm.French Napoleon III style table. The top is raised on grooved stipe legs connected by means of a chambrana. The piece of furniture stands out for the rich decoration worked with fine marquetry, with Renaissance-inspired candelieri ornamentation, based on stylised vegetation using various fruit woods. In the centre of the panel, within a cartouche, a fruit composition is depicted in marquetry, also of Renaissance heritage. The vegetal decoration continues at the waist, and as is characteristic of the Napoleon III style, the whole is ornamented with gilt-bronze appliqués around the tabletop, the cut-out skirt, the mouldings on the legs and the chambrana.
