Labrude, Joseph Sigisbert Mandel (1749 - 1820) [...], one of Nancy's greatest pharmacists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "Mettemberg water, or "anti-psoric quintessence", is a secret medicine, hence the name "secret remedy", used to treat scabies. It was proposed in 1794 (year III) by the former military surgeon Joseph Mettemberg. This external remedy was widely used, and its author enjoyed a great deal of support [particularly in government ministries]. In 1801 or 1802, Mandel was "approached by a fellow doctor" who was "experiencing serious accidents as a result of the external use of this specific drug" [...]. [...] At the public meeting of the Société de Santé held on 2 Messidor An X (June 21 1802), in the presence of the Prefect of the Meurthe department, he presented the results of his analyses of the drug, concluding: "It was with the greatest surprise that I discovered that the base of this specific was one of the most deleterious, one of the most active poisons known, muriate of mercury suroxygenated, today called corrosive sublimated mercury". Mandel was not mistaken about the toxicity of this compound, now called mercuric chloride, which did not prevent the water from continuing its long career". (P. Labrude). This collection illustrates the controversy between the inventor and his detractors.

PAUL GUSTAVE DORÉ (Strasbourg, 1832-Paris,1883). "La Defense Nationale". Bronze. Signed. Measurements: 57 cm. Paul Gustave Doré was a French German shepherd artist, painter, sculptor and illustrator, considered in his country the last of the great illustrators. He began his artistic training working with Charles Philipo, who published one lithograph a week. Later he received various commissions from François Rabelais, Honoré de Balzac and Dante Alighieri, making him, still very young, charge more than his contemporary Honoré Daumier. In 1853 he illuminated some of Lord Byron's works. In 1862 he traveled through Spain with Baron Davillier. As a result of the trip, the following year he published a series of chronicles on Valencia, Galicia, Andalusia, with specific stays in Granada, Madrid, and other Spanish capitals. The work was included in the collection Le Tour du Monde. In the same decade of 1860, Doré illustrated a French edition of Miguel de Cervantes's El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, based on his life experience in the Spanish geography. Doré later signed a five-year contract with the publisher Grant & Co. This meant that he had to spend at least three months a year in London. The book London: A Pilgrimage, with 180 engravings, was published in 1872. Although it was a commercial success, many critics did not like the publication, scandalized by the fact that Doré showed in his work the poverty that existed in London. He was accused by the Art Journal of being a "fantasist rather than an illustrator", and denounced in other important magazines, such as the Westminster Review. However, the success of London: A Pilgrimage led to many more commissions from English publishers.

Renaissance balcony bench, Catalonia or Aragon. Spain, ca. 1600 Walnut and boxwood. Bone inlay. Brass applications. Renaissance inlay decoration. It shows marks of use and wear. Leather handle with damage. Measurements: 130 x 140 x 60 cm. This Catalan-Aragonese bench-arch, dated around 1600, is decorated with a meticulous work of geometric marquetry, consisting of inlaying small plates of bone and other wood forming geometric motifs. This decoration has its roots in the Granada inlay, a block inlay of geometric motifs with Islamic roots. These inlays combine mainly bone and various woods, since these were the main materials for Hispano-Muslim furniture. Block inlay has its origins in Islamic Spain, and its technique consists of making a block by combining various woods to form a specific design, and then cutting sections that are inlaid into the furniture. In this way, mosaic plates or strips are obtained, like the ones we see here. Formally it is an ark raised on four claw feet, on which a wide skirt rests. Its front and sides are decorated with recessed square panels, alternating with molded surfaces with an architectural appearance. The chest remains closed, so it acts as a seat, and has a back with the same characteristics as the rest of the piece, culminating in a crest with a heraldic motif with the surname "Del Bosque". The chest was the most important container in Catalan houses since the 15th century. It was brought by the bride to the marriage, in fact, it was the patrimony that the bride's family gave to the groom. This was part of an exchange of wealth between the contracting families. Its ornamentation was a testimony of the social and economic level to which the new bride belonged.
