Provenance: Q. Mr. Santiago Acosta y Lara.. Montevideo.
I was arranging the objects to photograph them, and a ringing of bell made me lower the camera, to turn the attention to this wonderful object that emanated that sound ... I thought, "how incredible that sound has been kept so many years"
I bought these items in a national auction, I have seen enough, but nothing so old and unique RARE very rare to see since they are from the colonial era ca 1800 when even my country was a Spanish colony and the English had not yet arrived at our expense .. .. do not hesitate to buy them ... "if I do not sell them, I'll keep " so do not buy them please ... leave them to me (joke) ... I need to sell ,.
I aquired various articles, keys, keypads, pins, tablets, etc. Here is a general description but will make one particular of each article.
Referring to what I have found from bibliography, in the prestigious magazine of the society of friends of archeology, there are a couple of works where I rescued two comments. 1) these objects were sumptuous at the time. 2) were made by hot stamping, noting that the few patterns that exist are all identical.
Notice the sharp edge due to the punch of the stamp. !
Well finally I want you can realize that these articles are a luxury, are unique pieces and really you will not have the possibly in a long time to aquire articles of this beauty and rarity.
