Abstract
Esta tesis doctoral analiza la producción de platería civil de la empresa madrileña Talleres de Arte S. A. durante su primera etapa, transcurrida en vida de su fundador, el sacerdote y artista asturiano Félix Granda y Buylla (1868-1954) y que abarca aproximadamente entre 1903 y 1953. Aún en funcionamiento hoy bajo el nombre de Talleres de Arte Granda, es bien conocida por sus obras de arte sacro, entre las que descuellan las de platería, muchas de las cuales forman parte de los fondos de distintas colecciones en nuestro país, en especial en los museos eclesiásticos. Frente a la religiosa, la producción civil de los Talleres de Arte era prácticamente desconocida. A fin de acotar la investigación, se eligió centrarla en la platería civil. Son muy escasas las obras de este tipo que se conocen en la actualidad, pero su documentación ha sido posible a través de los fondos del Archivo de la Fundación Félix Granda (AFXG),en especial integrados por fotografías y dibujos. A partir de estos documentos, se ha elaborado un catálogo en el que se describen cerca de cuatrocientas piezas, clasificadas en diecinueve tipos distintos, entre los que predominan las bandejas, platos, cofres y placas conmemorativas. Asimismo, se han identificado las marcas de artífice empleadas por los Talleres y otras que resultan clave para su datación estimada...
The present doctoral dissertation analyses the production of civil silverware by the Madrid-based company Talleres de Arte during its first period, which took place during the life of its founder, the Spanish priest and artist Félix Granda (1868-1954) and covers approximately between 1903 and 1953. Still in operation today under the name of Talleres de Arte Granda, the company is well known for its works of sacred art, among which the silverware stands out. When compared to the religious one, the civil production of Talleres de Arte is practically unknown. In order to narrow down the investigation field, we choose to focus on civil silverware. Very few works of this kind are known, but their study have been possible through the Archive of the Félix Granda Foundation (AFXG), essentialy composed by large collections of photographs and drawings. From these documents a catalogue has been elaborated, which comprises nearly four hundred pieces, classified into nineteen different types, among which trays, plates, chests and commemorative plaques predominate. Likewise, the silvermarks used by Talleres de Arte and other marks that are key to their estimated dating are identified...
