Step back in time to the late 19th century, an era of grandeur and innovation. In Seville, Spain, the Divan Japonais offers a glimpse into the exotic with its intricate Japanese-inspired decor. Meanwhile, the Cathedral and Giralda tower stand proudly in the background, their Gothic beauty a testament to the past. Across the sea, the HMS Trafalgar sails the high seas, a symbol of Britain's maritime power. Back on land, Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures the essence of leisure in his painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party." In the realm of religion, Saint Reparata's tortured body is depicted in a Tempera painting, a reminder of the faith's deep-rooted history. And for the affluent, silver pomanders like those from the 19th century, C017 / 0730, C017 / 0749, and C017 / 0750, were essential accessories, their delicate designs a symbol of wealth and status.
