Small nave. Silver. SANZ DE VELASCO, Juan
Antonio. Valladolid, Spain, 18th century.
With
contrasting marks. It has repairs at the base and flaws
in the cresting.
Small nave with a
circular base raised towards the foot by a succession
of stepped mouldings. Its body is decorated with a
cresting on the edge and an engraved composition
based on vegetal elements and volutes (on a
background of chopped lustre, a finish that is also
combined in the decorative motifs), a scalloped
element on one side and a volute at the open end. The
hallmarks on the base place the piece's making in
Valladolid (note that it is the so-called "cut mark",
which some experts date back to the time when
Antonio González Téllez was named as the true
hallmark). The other punch present is by Juan Antonio
Sanz de Velasco (1720-1778), which served as the
true hallmark in the city between 1743 and 1774/8.
Apart from other works preserved with hallmarks by
the master (many in private Spanish collections), it is
worth highlighting the silver altar frontal of the Virgin of
the Tabernacle (Valladolid Cathedral) by the Valladolid
silversmiths Juan Antonio Sanz de Velasco and
Miguel Fernández Yáñez de Vega, who completed in
the last third of the 18th century a project begun in
1693 by the silversmith José de Aranda. The shape of
the piece is typical of this type of container for holding
incense (in fact, the name naveta comes from the
word "nave") since the Middle Ages (nave of the
Constables' Chapel in Burgos Cathedral by Juan de
Valladolid from the 15th century), with variations in
shape and decorative elements depending on whether
it belonged to a particular centre, style, etc. Compare
this piece with works preserved, for example, in the
Diocesan and Cathedral Museum of Valladolid,
another from the Museum of Navarre from Mexico and
dated between 1634 and 1666, another from the 18th
century in silver in its color from the Cathedral of Tuy
(with a very different foot), etc.
