ARTISTIC MODELS AND MOLDS

In here, you could find the original bathing area.  The strong chemical products used for these metal baths damaged this area heavily: the forged works, the wood and the walls have been reinforced and all the space has been paved and converted into an exhibition hall (display cabinets, bookcases…).

In this room you will be able to look at genuine art pieces: beautiful bronze models from the 19th and 20th centuries which gave birth to a great number of products. Some of these were delicate and meticulous chisel works, beautifully shaped sculptures, old wood trees (walnut, holm oak…) and they were used to work and to embellish the brass layers, and at the boxes of melting shell. The room is also a very significant mirror of what originally was the "Cuarto de Modelos" (“Model Room”) located in the upper floor.
