Possible Spanish Mark - Help Required

[dognose]

Hi,

Trying to help a friend with the identificaton of this mark.




To me, the style of the maker's mark suggests a Spanish origin.

Any thoughts very much appreciated.

Estimado dognose, revisando entradas antiguas me he encontrado con esta y efectivamente hay una marca española LA / RRAÑAGA. Pertenece al platero Ignacio Larrañaga de la ciudad de San Sebastián, (España) entre 1763 - 1797. Ocupo el cargo de contraste en las ultimas dos décadas del XVIII. Se le conocen bastantes obras de él marcadas solo con su marca personal sin la de localidad.



Las otras dos marcas las desconozco, posiblemente sea una pieza fabricada por Larrañaga y marcada como contraste en algún otro sitio.

Tengo un libro con algunas obras suyas si quieres alguna foto, estaré encantado de mandártelas.

Dear dognose, reviewing old posts I found this and indeed there is a Spanish brand LA / RRAÑAGA. Ignacio Larrañaga silversmith belongs to the city of San Sebastian (Spain) between 1763-1797. Contrast the position I occupy in the last two decades of the century. You know it works quite marked only with your personal brand without locality.
The other two brands the unaware, it may be a part made by marked contrast Larrañaga and elsewhere.
I have a book with some of his works if you want a picture, I will be happy mandártelas.

Hi Funkel,

Many thanks for the information. It's always good when the older posts are finally answered. At the moment I'm struggling to remember who asked me to post the question for them, but whatever, I'm sure there are others who would like to see some examples of the work of Ignacio Larrañaga, so it would be great to see some images.

Cruz prcesional / processional Cross



Incensario / Censer



Relicarios / Shrines

Hi Funkel,

That's great, thank you.

The hand, especially, is very impressive, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before.

Regards, Trev.

Hola Dognose, es un poco.... "especial" ya sabes... es un relicario y dentro hay una parte del cuerpo del Santo, quizás un trozo de hueso del brazo o de la mano. A mi no me gusta nada pero bueno... (me refiero al hueso).
Saludos

Hello Dognose, is a bit .... "special" you know ... is a shrine and inside there is a part of the body of the saint, perhaps a piece of bone in the arm or hand. A I do not like anything but ... (I mean the bone).
