Description

Silver incense boat (naviculae).  SANZ DE VELASCO, Juan Antonio (1720-1778). Valladolid, Spain, 18th century. With hallmarks.
The hallmarks on the base place the realization of the piece in Valladolid (note that it is the one which some experts place in time until the appointment as a "fiel contraste" of Antonio González Téllez). The other hallmark present is by Juan Antonio Sanz de Velasco (1720-1778), who acts as a  "fiel contraste" in the city between 1743 and 1774/8. Apart from other works conserved by the master (many in private Spanish collections), we must highlight the altar front in silver of the Virgen del Sagrario (Cathedral of Valladolid) of the Valladolid silversmiths Juan Antonio Sanz de Velasco and Miguel Fernández Yáñez de Vega, who finished in the last third of the eighteenth century a work begun in 1693 by the silversmith José de Aranda.
The shape of the piece is the usual in this type of containers to store incense (in fact, the name naveta comes from "nave") since the Middle Ages (naveta of the Condestables Chapel of the Cathedral of Burgos de Juan of Valladolid of the XV century), with variations in the form and in its decorative elements according to its belonging to a center, style, etc. Compare this piece with works conserved, for example, in the Diocesan and Cathedral Museum of Valladolid, another from the Museum of Navarre from Mexico and dated between 1634 and 1666, another eighteenth century silver in its color from the Cathedral of Tuy ( with a very different foot), etc.
