1 Alcaraz carpet of the “Holbein type”, so named because of their similarity to those depicted in the 16th century paintings of Hans Holbein the Younger.
2 17th century Portuguese bed, much imitated in Spain. It is characterised by its ornate spindles and large lentoid shapes.
3 Nautilus cups (fashioned from sea snail shells) were prized by western
collectors for their exotic beauty.
4 The walls, tables and cabinets of many 17th century monasteries and palaces were fi lled with plates made in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo).
5 Philip V’s writing desk, c. 1713, is a typical piece that celebrates the king’s military and political triumphs in the War of the Spanish Succession.
6 In the 18th century Naples became the main producer of nativity displays, with clay fi gurines and complex contemporary settings.
7 This type of pistol, dating to the 18th century, was placed in the saddle so it was easy for the horseman to carry and use.
8 These large vases are the “masterpieces” made by the Royal Glass Factory at La Granja.
9 The hat shop that inspired the decoration on this cup reminds us of the importance
of fashion in the Wiener Werkstätte at the beginning of the 20th century. 10 This 18th century Valencian kitchen decoration is a reminder of the Valencian bourgeoisie’s custom of serving soft drinks or chocolate on special occasions.
