Salvilla-frutero in silver, made between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. It is a functional piece, with a stepped circular molded foot that gives rise to a shaft with a central knot and a flat upper tray. The salvillas were used to hold other smaller vessels and highlight them on the table, and they already appear in Spanish Baroque still lifes. They were made in different materials, being the silver ones one of the most valued. The present work corresponds, stylistically, to Neoclassicism models, characterized by their purity of lines and elegance.
