Lot 1 - PIERRE LOTTIER (France, 1916 - Santa Susana, Spain, 1987). Bookcase furniture, 50's-60's. Hand lacquered wood with flowers and birds decorations. It has a key. Presents marks of use and wear, some lack of polychrome. Measurements: 210 x 100 x 43 cm. Bookcase designed by Pierre Lottier, in hand lacquered wood in golden tones and decorated with chinoiseries. The decorations cover the drawers and the upper body, completely covering the front with big birds of paradise and floral proliferations. The hinged desk top hides an open gallery over a row of drawers. The interior is also decorated with vegetal bouquets. It has a double door in the upper body and crowned with a double-vaulted top. Born into a family of artists (his father was the famous restaurateur and namesake Pierre Lottier who founded in 1880 "La Reserve" on the Côte d'Azur, one of the establishments of high society most valued by millionaires and aristocrats), Pierre Lottier settled in the 30s in Madrid, separated by French society. He came into contact with the Spanish elite of the time as a procurer of important works of art, especially porcelain and oriental bronzes. In the 1950s he settled between Madrid and Barcelona. He collaborated with important design houses such as Casa Valentí or Casa Gancedo for the most historical fabrics. Pierre Lottier began emulating the career of Marc du Plantier and the famous Maison Jansen in Paris. His beginnings were based on the purity of the French "Grand Gout", mainly centered on Louis XV and XVI styles. Later, in the 1950's, it drifted to the English styles typical of the late 18th century: Hepplewhite, Adam, Chippendale, Sheraton or Gillwood were the surnames with which Lottier was most inspired. By 1970 the style drifted into a more modern wake. His new designs were based on Art Deco and classical rationalism, typical of a new, more intellectual society.

Lot 2 - EULALIA FÁBREGAS DE SENTMENAT (Barcelona, 1900 - 1992). "Female nude". White marble. Stand in green marble. Signed on the right side. Presents marks of use and wear; stains of having been exposed outdoors. Slight chipping on the pedestal. Measurements: 110 x 75 x 63 cm. Eulalia Fábregas de Sentmenat developed a genuinely Mediterranean sculpture, and this is notably expressed in this seated figure: a female nude of essential lines, almost apollonian and idealized, but that at the same time transmits a naturalistic character, without any pomposity, thanks to the natural gesture that the young woman adopts when sitting with her legs folded and tilted, one hand on the slab and the other on the lower part of the right leg. The young woman assumes the aura of a Greek goddess, but also of a carnal woman. She exudes both dignity and grace. The modeling is perfect and gives the anatomy a warm carnality. Eulàlia Fàbregas Jacas, better known by her married name as Eulàlia Fàbregas de Sentmenat was a Catalan sculptor. She started sculpting at the age of 50, following the death of her son in a car accident. She trained then with the sculptor Rosa Martínez Brau, and in 1964 she exhibited for the first time in the Sala Parés in Barcelona. With a figurative tendency, she devoted herself especially to the female nude, generally in large format pieces - massive but elegant, harmonious and serene figures - and also made religious images. Most of his works are in Barcelona, among them: "Mediterrània", in the Royal Palace of Pedralbes (1962); Serenity, in Cervantes Park (1964); Female Nude, in the Gardens of Joan Maragall (1965); To Francesc Matheu, in Avenida Diagonal 696, in front of the University School of Business Studies (1968); and Women in the Cascade, in the Gardens of Joan Maragall (1970). He also has several works in Esplugues de Llobregat, especially in Can Sentmenat: Despertar, Eva, Juventud, Diana, Maternidad -in Can Vidalet Park-, Alba -in Carretera de Cornellà-, Bailarinas, Sin nombre I y II and Diosa mediterránea; as well as La Mujer del Parque -in Pou d'en Fèlix Park- or Alegoría a las víctimas de las guerras -in Ca n'Hospital Park.

Lot 5 - Pharmacy sideboard. Baroque, XVIII century. Hand painted pine wood. Drawers in the back. It shows marks of use and wear; lack of polychrome. On wooden base lined with green felt (20th century). Measurements: 85 x 212 x 55 cm (furniture); 20 x 225 x 61 cm (stand). We are in front of a collection piece, singular and unique in its kind, a sideboard or pharmacy counter of baroque epoch made of pine wood painted by hand. On the sides are represented, respectively, two male characters performing master formulas using a mortar and a glass still. On the front, a bucolic and wild landscape is developed with a hunting scene, a castle in the distance and a fountain in the foreground, with a young woman accompanied by a servant sitting next to her. These motifs (the hunter, the fountain) may allude in a biased way to the pharmacist's trade. Hunters, spending much time in nature, often acquired a thorough knowledge of the plants and herbs growing in their environment, including those with medicinal properties. This knowledge was essential for the preparation of remedies. Pharmacists and physicians of ancient times often relied on this local knowledge to formulate medicines. As for water sources, they were not only essential for life and the preparation of remedies, but also played a role in the growth of plants used in pharmacology. On the back of the counter, the cabinet has three small drawers or drawers with button pulls, decorated with borders and floral designs.

Lot 6 - MARTÍ LLAURADÓ MARISCOT (Barcelona, 1903 - 1957). "Girl sleeping". Stone sculpture of Montjuïc. Signed on the left side. Presents marks of use and wear; some chipping. Measurements: 30 x 110 x 45 cm. The sleeping young woman is represented in this sculpture with a veristic intention, seeking in her the beauty that is born not from perfection but from the singularity and fragility of the body at rest. This is a work of quality by Martí Llauradó Mariscot, made with Montjuïc stone, a compact and resistant stone from the mountain of the same name, which has been used over the centuries in important sculptures and constructions in the city of Barcelona, including part of Gaudí's work. The sculptor Martí Llauradó worked during his youth with Joan Borrell and Joan Rebull, from whom he received important influences. In 1929 he made his debut with his first individual exhibition in Barcelona, together with Joan Commeleran. From then on he continued exhibiting his work and taking part in contests, and in 1933 he was awarded in the Exhibition of the Nude of the Artistic Circle of Barcelona. The following year he obtained the first medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid. In the post-war period he obtained other important awards in cities such as Seville (for religious art), Madrid and Barcelona, and was invited to participate in two editions of the Venice Biennale. Llauradó was a leading figure of the young generation of postnoucentisme, and tempered the stylized idealism of the noucentistes with an accentuation of realism. He is currently represented at MACBA.

He held several painting exhibitions in the galleries Salón del Art Libre, Palais des Beaux Arts and others. At the same time, he dedicated himself to the creation of jewelry-sculptures. In 1965 he returned to Madrid, although he set up his studio in the Molino del Cubo (Ávila) where he investigated new plastic procedures. During this period he exhibited at the Ateneo de Madrid. From that year on, he began a series of international exhibitions in Copenhagen, Paris, New York, Rabat and St. Louis (Missouri), obtaining great artistic recognition and consolidating his international prestige as a monumental sculptor by winning the competition to create the sculpture of Don Quixote, which would be erected in front of the Kennedy Center in Washington, in competition with Salvador Dalí and José de Creeft. He finally set up his workshop, and a museum dedicated to his work, in the old monastery of Pedrique (near Villaharta), in the municipality of Pozoblanco.

Lot 49 - JOSÉ MARÍA MALLOL SUAZO (Barcelona, 1910 - 1986). "Sketch of a young woman with a hat". Oil on panel. Signed in the lower right corner. With Sala Parés label on the back. Measurements: 31 x 36 cm; 52 x 58 cm (frame). Born in the bosom of a very religious family, Mallol Suazo was formed in the School of La Lonja, in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Félix Mestres and Ramón Calsina between 1929 and 1935. He was a cartoonist as well as a painter, and published humorous illustrations in "En Patufet", "Virolet" and "L'Esquitx", magazines with which he collaborated since his student years. A congenital deformity in his feet, which made him walk with difficulty, prevented him from developing the landscape theme, as he could not move to make the copy from life. That is why he opted for other themes, such as still life or portraits. The first exhibition of his work took place at the Salon of Contemporary Art in Barcelona in 1936, months before the outbreak of the Civil War. That same year he was awarded a prize at the Spring Exhibition in Barcelona. The war forced the dispersion of his family, but Mallol remained in Barcelona, where he devoted himself entirely to painting and obtained, in 1938, the Nonell Painting Prize, awarded by the Sala Tardor. In 1945 he became a member of the group of artists of the Sala Parés, a gallery where he met the collector Josep Omar Gelpi, who became his art dealer from then on. Considered one of the most promising young Catalan painters, in 1953 he participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona with a nude, and in 1959 he visited Brazil for the first time, the country where his wife came from and to which he would travel several times throughout his life. Far from the feeling of "risk and adventure" in a plastic sense, Mallol did not allow himself to be dragged along by the prevailing artistic currents, always remaining faithful to his own realistic-poetic language. In 1987, a year after his death, the Sala Parés dedicated a large tribute exhibition to him, an anthology of his work. Mallol is represented in the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Museum of Valls, the Deu Font Museum in El Vendrell, the Historical Archive of the City of Barcelona and the Abbey of Montserrat, as well as in important collections such as Caixa Terrassa, Caixa de Catalunya, Marta María Millet and Modest Rodríguez Cruells.

Lot 54 - PIERRE LOTTIER (France, 1916 - Santa Susana, Spain, 1987). Pair of floor lamps, 1950s. Hand painted iron. It has marks of use and wear. The lampshades need cleaning. Measurements: 155 cm. height; 166 cm. with lampshade. Pair of floor lamps designed by Pierre Lottier in the fifties. On an iron shaft that in the base opens in four thin sheets rest the truncated cone-shaped lampshades. The foot has hand-painted decorative motifs inspired by Greek greca. Pierre Lottier was a prominent furniture designer and decorator born in France but based in Barcelona, active from the post-war period. Already in the sixties and seventies he had an important workshop, where important cabinetmakers of the new generation were trained. Lottier was mainly dedicated to the decoration of important houses in the Catalan capital, although he also designed others outside the city, such as Ava Gardner's house in Madrid. Born into a family of artists (his father was the famous restaurateur and namesake Pierre Lottier who founded in 1880 "La Reserve" on the Côte d'Azur, one of the high society establishments most valued by millionaires and aristocrats), Pierre Lottier settled in Madrid in the 1930s, set apart by French society. He came into contact with the Spanish elite of the time as a procurer of important works of art, especially porcelain and oriental bronzes. In the 1950s he settled between Madrid and Barcelona. He collaborated with important design houses such as Casa Valentí or Casa Gancedo for the most historical fabrics. Pierre Lottier began emulating the career of Marc du Plantier and the famous Maison Jansen in Paris. His beginnings were based on the purity of the French "Grand Gout", mainly centered on Louis XV and XVI styles. Later, in the 1950's, it drifted to the English styles typical of the late 18th century: Hepplewhite, Adam, Chippendale, Sheraton or Gillwood were the surnames with which Lottier was most inspired. By 1970 the style drifted into a more modern wake. His new designs were based on Art Deco and classical rationalism, typical of a new, more intellectual society.

Lot 55 - Bride's chest of arches. Catalonia, 18th century. Walnut wood. Brass fittings. Presents marks of use, wear, some faults and xylophages. Measurements: 70 x 144 x 58 cm (closed); 121 x 144 x 58 cm (open). Baroque style bridal chest, made in Catalonia, decorated with profuse carved, geometric and architectural motifs. It stands on four claw feet, and has a hinged top lid, typical of this typology. The front is organized, through the ornamental scheme, in three recesses that house pairs of semicircular arches raised on pilasters, with narrower recesses between them, decorated with boxes that house floral motifs. The sides of the cabinet repeat the same pattern. The upper frieze is decorated with carved pilasters with simple vegetal motifs alternating with plain recesses, the central one housing the coat of arms. This type of chest has its origin in the 16th century, in the so-called "arcas embasadas de moldura, que dicen barcelonesas", typical of Catalonia, Aragon, Balearic Islands and Valencia. It is a type of chest very different from the contemporary French one, although similar to the Italian one. Although they have their origin in the Crown of Aragon (specifically in Barcelona, according to their name), today we know that they were made all over Spain, since the guild ordinances of the time of Charles I dictate the way to make them. They are, in any case, betrothal chests, also called "caixas de novia", which were an indispensable part of the wedding trousseau. Regarding their typology, they all have a truncated pyramidal molded base (hence the term "embasadas"), and their construction is deceptive, appearing on the outside to be a stretcher frame and panel structure that is not, since they are built with assembled one-piece boards, a typical characteristic of northern Spain at this time. There were different variants depending on the size and the number of squares placed on the front: two in the smallest ones, three in the medium ones and four or more in the larger ones. In fact, the ark could be as long as the wall on which it was placed. This ark would correspond to the groom, since it does not have a side door, reserved for the bride.

Measurements: 86 x 46 x 46 cm. Pair of planters designed by Pierre Lottier. The historicism and the free revisitation of the past was characteristic of Lottier's work, as can be seen in these planters in the form of cups with the exterior decorated with wooden ribs. He gives the wood different finishes and patinas. Pierre Lottier was a prominent furniture designer and decorator born in France but based in Barcelona, active from the post-war period.

Needs refinishing. Measurements: 78 x 160 x 83 cm (table); 96 x 65 x 61 cm (chair); 175 x 203 x 60 cm (cabinet). Set of furniture in French Empire style, probably designed by Pierre Lottier. A great connoisseur of period furniture, Lottier revived styles and deployed in them singular syncretisms to turn his pieces into unique works. The walnut desk features walnut root soffits flanked by stipe-like columns topped by bronze busts. This echoes the Egyptian influence that also inspired the Empire style. The cabinet stands on bronze claw feet. The top is lined with leather upholstery. The matching chair has the same motifs: female busts in gilded bronze, claw feet, studded leather upholstery on the edges. The cabinet is structured in three modules, the central one with a grille that reveals the shelves inside. The bust stipe motif compartmentalizes the modules.

Measurements: 103 x 57,5 x 6 cm. The so-called "Bilbao Mirrors" were characterized by being made of pink marble adhered to wood and having thin columns with delicate plaster decorations, often with an urn or painting in the center.

Lot 96 - Collection of more than 900 boxes of pharmacy, late nineteenth-mid twentieth century. In lithographed tinplate, porcelain and glass. With marks of use and wear. Fouls, dirt and some damage. Huge collection of medicinal boxes from the last third of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. All of them are made of tinplate (a light and resistant material). Most of them keep in good condition the decorations, elegant typographies, bright colors and illustrations that show the evolution of the brands and the advertising aesthetics linked to health. Pain pills, throat candies, vaginal ovules, calcium supplements... are some of the products that are advertised on packages that, for their part, were made in a diversity of typologies: cylindrical and rectangular, large and small, flat and stylized... These little boxes have become highly valued collector's items. Tin boxes were used for the first time in Europe, in England, at the end of the 19th century. Before the diffusion by audio-visual media, tin boxes were a fundamental advertising claim. The contents of the box were as important as the colorful design on the outside. With industrial progress, the tinplate box was introduced as an essential means of preserving medicines and foodstuffs that needed insulation from heat and cold. Chromolithography on metal had a decisive importance in the beginning and diffusion of advertising communication, as we understand it today. Between 1870 and 1890, progress in laminating and printing techniques allowed the rise of decorated and lithographed cans to contain consumer products, including medicines.
