About the Item

Notary with four inkwells. Silver. Spain, 20th century, following models from the Real Fábrica de Platerías by Antonio Martínez. With contrast markings. Notary with a silver tray in its color and gilt that has four containers with lids and a pedestal in the center topped by a seated sculpture. The tray, rectangular in shape with the four sides slightly curved outwards, shows a border decorated with plant elements and, on the larger fronts, a crest at the top followed by another at the bottom, creating a symmetrical composition with scrollwork, a figurehead at the front and plant motifs, and four legs in the shape of monsters (foot of a leaf, elongated body with breasts, long neck, head of a lion or similar, and feathered wings). Each of the containers has a circular base on which the monstrous female figures that decorate them support their vegetal "leg" (winged, holding vegetal motifs in front of their breasts), a bulbous shape and a raised lid towards the center decorated with a band of simple architectural motifs, which is, in turn, topped by a bird hunting a snake. In the center, on a circular and stepped pedestal, there is a tubular pedestal decorated with garlands, vegetable scrolls, venerated forms and monstrous masks. Seated on a seat, there is a human figure dressed in a tunic and cloak, barefoot and carrying some objects, with short hair uncovered. Note that the monsters (sometimes called fantastic bugs) that the piece presents as legs are very similar to those on the notary dated around 1847 that has marks from the Antonio Martínez Royal Silver Factory and is kept in the Museum del Prado (Madrid). The masks mentioned on the pedestal are very similar to those presented by "The Allegory of Justice" which was a gift from Medina de Pomar to the Minister of Grace and Justice in 1849 (Museum of Romanticism, Madrid) and which also shows Martinez hallmarks. This work is clearly inspired by the notary office of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers of the Royal Palace of Madrid (National Heritage made in 1851 by the Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez. Note that the four “putti” or child figures that would surround the central figure do not appear here, that it has a slightly different posture, and that the crests on the tray are different, among other details. Weight: 3174 grams. · Size: 29x22x21 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
