LIGHT FIXTURES attached to the house

187. Two candle-style wall sconce (bronze/spelter, shield-shaped repoussé backplate, one candle-form arm with saucer bobeche) — Spanish Revival or Mediterranean Revival style, likely 1920s–1930s vintage, consistent with an older California house. Modest individual value, more decorative than collectible — these turn up often in the $75 pair range unless there’s a maker’s mark.

188. Gilt-bronze two-arm crystal sconces — Louis XV/XVI Revival style with cut-crystal drops and a starburst backplate, likely Spanish or Italian, mid-20th century. Nicer quality than #1; a pair of these in good condition with intact crystals can bring $150pair at auction or through a lighting-specialist dealer.

189. Matching mini chandelier (4-light, gilt bronze with crystal drops, iron accents) — same style family as #188, likely part of a suite. Suite pieces sell best together; a 3-piece set (chandelier + 2 sconces) in this style could bring $400 as a set if condition and wiring are good.

190. Cut-glass bowl flush-mount with pierced brass gallery ring and rosette mounts — classic early-20th-century schoolhouse/hall fixture. These are common but decorative; typically $100

191. Mid-century Murano-style opaline glass pendant(bulbous drop form, hand-blown with controlled bubbles/texture) — if genuinely Murano (Venini, Vistosi-adjacent styling), this could be worth more, $200 each

192. Brass “lotus/artichoke” layered-leaf pendant fixture attributed to Feldman $450

193 Chomero or Chomarro well defined city scape in the Castillian style $100

194 “Las Obras de Publio Virgilio Marón, traducido en prosa castellana por Diego López… En Madrid: En la Imprenta de Angel Pasqual Rubio… Año 1721” — a Spanish prose translation of the complete works of Virgil (Eclogues, Georgics, Aeneid) by Diego López, a well-known 17th-century Spanish humanist/schoolmaster whose annotated Virgil translations were reprinted many times from the late 1500s through the 18th century.

This 1721 Madrid printing, in original limp vellum binding, with the “Tabla de los Autores” index and printer’s device (IHS rose mark) is a legitimate antiquarian book — genuinely 300+ years old. The front and rear flyleaves/pastedowns aren’t blank — they’re repurposed pages from an earlier handwritten legal/notarial document, written in period Spanish secretary-hand, discussing things like “Mandamos que los… jueces no sean cohechos… el vino… testimonios… el alcalde” — this reads like an ordinance or legal instrument concerning wine sales, testimonies, notaries, and local magistrates (alcaldes), likely 17th century, predating the printed book. This is a well-documented and collected practice — bookbinders often recycled discarded manuscript pages (often notarial, legal, or liturgical) as binding waste, and these “manuscript waste” fragments are sometimes collected/studied independently of the book itself. $200

195 “Historia del Viejo y Nuevo Testamento” by Carlos Antonio Erra (a Milanese priest of the Clérigos Reglares de la Madre de Dios), translated from Latin into Castilian by an anonymous secular priest. First published in Madrid by Joaquín Ibarra, 1774–1775, in 8 volumes, with reprints in 1777–79 and 1783–87. Your volume is Tomo VII (covering the Third Passover through later Gospel events), in period limp vellum binding — consistent with the 1770s–80s printings based on the text layout and typography. $40

196 The Original Water-Color Paintings by John James Audubon for The Birds of America” (2-volume boxed set) — this is the well-known facsimile reproduction of Audubon’s original watercolors (published by American Heritage/Abbeville in the 1960s–70s). Complete 2-volume sets in the slipcase, in good condition, regularly sell in the $75 range, sometimes higher depending on printing and condition.

NOTES AND OUTSTANDING ACTIONS

The Spanish pictures

Item 61 is by Josep Serrasanta (Buenos Aires 1916 – Valldoreix, Barcelona 1998), a Catalan palette-knife painter who won the Grand Prix International de Cannes in 1964 and painted murals at Castelldefels and the domes of Lleida Cathedral. Recorded auction results run from roughly $106 to $1,900, with one example at €3,000. Almost all sold results come from Barcelona houses — Subarna, Sala de Ventas, Setdart, Balclis — so the Spanish market is materially stronger for him than the American one.

Item 58 is by Vicente Pastor Calpena (Aspe, Alicante 1918 – Madrid 1993), trained at San Fernando in Madrid, a founding-era member of the Agrupación Española de Acuarelistas and one of the leading Spanish watercolourists of his generation.

Item 59, the unframed domed cityscape, shows the same palette-knife handling as item 61 and should be checked for a signature.

The Capella question

Items 33, 71, 97 and 98 are all signed Capella. Items 97 (1990) and 33 (1973) read clearly as S. Capella. Item 71 (March 1960) appeared to carry a longer first word.

A strong contextual candidate exists in Sebastián Capella Pallarés (Sagunto, Valencia 1927 – San Diego 2013), a Spanish portraitist who taught at the University of San Diego from 1966 and worked from a La Jolla studio from 1970.

Item 136 — Crown Ducal Snow Glaze

A.G. Richardson & Co., Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. Pattern numbers in the 4500s date to early 1936, placing Alpine 4625 at approximately 1936–37. There is an active specialist collector base for Crown Ducal snow glaze.

Snow glaze is the body, not the design. The valuable snow glaze pieces are Charlotte Rhead’s tube-lined patterns. Alpine 4625 is factory lithograph-and-band decoration and is NOT a Rhead design.

The teapot and the gravy boat with attached stand are the value drivers. Inspect every rim, the spout, and particularly the angular Deco handles.

Item 122 — the gold-rimmed service is commercial ware

The largest-looking service in the house is 10 Strawberry Street by Monno, Bangladesh — a commercial brand supplying restaurants, hotels, banquet halls and caterers. Four dinner plates sold on eBay at $22; a 100+ piece set was offered at $100.

Items 89 and 107 — glass

The cabinet-top crystal is marked keep for family. Item 107, the American Brilliant Period pitcher, is the strongest single piece of glass found: deep hobstar and pinwheel cutting, c. 1890–1915. Signed examples by Hawkes, Libbey, Dorflinger or Straus roughly double in value, so check the base.

Items 62, 23 and 94 — confirm before listing

Item 94, the bargueño, shows pale open-grained wood, softly cut mask carving and applied rather than structural ironwork. It reads as late 19th or early 20th-century Spanish Revival rather than period. The word “antique” should not appear in any listing until the joinery and drawer construction have been examined in person.
