\nThis magisterial frame of magnificently–wrought Philippine “molave” hardwood is surmounted by the crest of the de Yriarte family supported by stylized acanthus leaves and topped by a rounded pediment. Both the left and the right sides of the frame are topped by rounded pediments from where seashells, flowers, leaves, and fruits carved in high relief descend. The four corners of the frame are deeply carved with “Tridacna gigas” seashells (giant clams). The hybrid Filipino design freely takes elements from the Spanish (“churrigueresco”), Mexican, Italian, and Portuguese decorative traditions of the baroque and rococo periods.
\nThis grand Spanish baroque–style (“churrigueresco”) frame comes from the combined legacies of the hallowed de Yriarte and Pardo de Tavera families of Old Intramuros, Manila --- among the most prominent Spanish–Filipino families during the Spanish colonial era. In style, heft, and gesture, it would not be out of place in the great Intramuros palaces --- Palacio del Gobernador, Palacio Arzobispal, Ayuntamiento/Casas Consistoriales --- or even in the great palaces of Madre España.
\nA prominent collector recalled that he had seen a similar frame which actually contained an 18 th century painting. Pictorial proof of its aristocratic Spanish–Filipino provenance is seen in a series of prewar photographs of the interiors of the 1800s Pardo de Tavera residence in Intramuros and the 1920s Villa Beatrice in Pasay.","lot_group":"OBJET D' ARTS","lot_details_html":"
