Portajoyas

Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez

Documentado en 1816

Cuatro porta-joyas, en forma de copa, integran este juego de tocador que perteneció a la reina María Isabel de Braganza. Fue un regalo del Ayuntamiento de Madrid en 1816 con motivo de su boda con el rey Fernando VII. Es uno de los objetos más decorativos del conjunto. La taza, adornada por su parte inferior con motivos vegetales, servía como recipiente para depositar las joyas. La originalidad de la pieza radica en las cuatro cabezas de carneros situadas en la parte superior del astil, de cuyas bocas penden guirnaldas, y en los cuatro patos de la base que sostienen sendas cadenas con sus picos.

The Prince’s early years were spent under the tutelage of his caretaker, the Marquess of Santa Cruz, and his successive tutors, of whom the best known were Canon Escóiquiz and his teacher, Father Cristóbal Bencomo.
