Rare octagonal box, pyxis, core of stained softwood, veneered with ebony, bone, red paste and bronze. Each side is adorned with an openwork plate of eight eight-pointed stars on two columns in a frame with red paste remains; the body is outlined with fillets at top and bottom; the lid is geometrically decorated with a frieze arrangement of interlaced braids forming an eight-pointed star; bronze trim consisting of hinges, false angles and lanceolate-ended feet, a hinged hasp with a closing plate with trefoil corners featuring three triggers for the passage of a pin, and a movable top suspension ring. Spain, Nasrid period, Granada, 14th/15th century Overall height 13 cm - Overall width 11.7 cm Box alone, H. 10.9 cm - W. 10.1 cm (slight deformation of the lid) This pyxis, which has come down to us in an excellent state of preservation, belongs to a fairly limited corpus of boxes made in al-Andalus featuring ivory or bone plaques with openwork eight-pointed star motifs. Of very similar dimensions, five have been catalogued to date: Private collection, León (fig.a), Instituto Valencia de Don Juan, Madrid, inv. 4867 (fg.b), London Sotheby's sale, June 10, 2020, lot 87 (fig.c), Museum of Decorative Arts, Madrid, purchase 2023, inv. CE 30485 (fig.d), David Collection, Copenhagen, inv. 1/2017 (fig.e). They come from workshops on the Iberian Peninsula during the Muslim occupation, and borrow their technique and decoration from the Arab art of the Maghreb. Several scholars have studied this production and agree that it dates back to the kingdom of Granada, under the Nasrid dynasty (1238-1492). The originality of the box presented here lies in the simplicity of its decoration, which does not use the fine geometric marquetry technique known in Spanish as taracea that can be seen on the five other examples mentioned above. The use of these boxes remains to be determined: some art historians see them as inkwells, others as pyxes, as some were sold by monasteries. The latter hypothesis seems plausible in view of the geometric layout used by Andalusian craftsmen under Muslim rule, which depicts stars as well as crosses. Works consulted : - Á.

Domed-top case with oak core, decorated with openwork bone plaques set on a linen background, decorated with Gothic rosettes and fillings, flowers and foliage, embossed and molded brass fittings. Alpine region of southern Germany, 16th century H. 15.5 cm - W. 24.6 cm - D. 11.5 cm Key Collection label on bottom. (small accidents and missing parts, one plate redone, lock dismantled) Sofia Rodriguez Bemis, director of Barcelona's Museu Nacional de Artes Decorativas, has likened this case from the former Junyent collection to the Nuremberg production based on the use of brass. This thesis does not seem very convincing and it would be more likely to locate the production of this type of box further south, perhaps in the Alpine regions of southern Germany. Provenance : - Former Oleguer Junyent (1876-1956) collection, Barcelona. Oleguer Junyent (1876-1956) was a painter, decorator, collector and antiquarian best known for his round-the-world voyage in 1908. - Purchased at Tefaf from Artur Ramon, antique dealer, Madrid - Private collection, Barcelona Exhibitions : - Barcelona Exhibition 1929, El arte en Espana, Palacio nacional, cat. 2886 - Exhibition Barcelona February-March 1961, Oleguer Junyent, Palacio de la Virreina, p. 48, cat. 222 Works consulted : - S.
