About the Item

Salvilla. Silver. Salamanca, 1759 With contrast markings. Silver salve in its natural color with a plate featuring a mitered curved profile that translates into edges on the rim, which has a series of fine moldings, and three claw-shaped legs, each with a bracelet in the ankle joint area and finished to resemble animal skin. The hallmarks present place the piece in Salamanca during the period when Juan Montero (whose mark was used from 1759) was an authentic assayer, and it is attributed to a silversmith (FZ). Juan Ignacio Montero was a silversmith and assayer, and the hallmark seen here appears to date from surviving works dated between 1759 and 1779, such as a reliquary in the Parish Church of San Lorenzo in Segovia (by Manuel Cardeñosa, dated 1767). It is known that he held the position of assayer in Salamanca between 1758 and 1781 and remained active until 1779. He used a hallmark that included dates, although sometimes the same mark was used in several years. Regarding the silversmith, experts suggest that the mark could belong to Antonio Fernández Clemente (c. 1708-1766) or his son of the same name. Interestingly, three similar examples of this particular type of salver (named for the claws on which it rests) are known: one with marks by Juan Montero, made by C. Aillón (reproduced in Enciclopedia de la plata española y virreinal americana, Asociación Española de Joyeros, Plateros y Relojeros, 1984; Pages 200 and 398 –illustration 1058–) and another, also from the 18th century, held in a private collection. Weight: 1182 grams. · Size: 34,5x34,5x7 cm 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.
