Description
Portrait of Fernando Fernandez de Cordoba and Valcarcel. Oil on canvas. Spanish School, 19th century.
Unframed canvas. Damaged. Requires restoration.
Full-length portrait of a male figure set in an interior decorated with carpets, a gilded wooden chest of drawers with a Rococo influence, a relief on the wall, mouldings, an inkwell, maps, books, a writing desk, etc. To the left, next to a curtain, the composition opens onto a window that reveals a building. The man, in military uniform, holds a sword in one hand and a bicorne hat in the other, while looking straight at the viewer. Fernando Fernández de Córdova y Valcárcel (Buenos Aires, 2 September 1809 – Madrid, 30 October 1883), 2nd Marquis of Mendigorría, was a Spanish military man, son of the frigate captain of the Royal Navy José María Fernández de Córdova y Rojas and María de la Paz Rodríguez de Valcárcel y O'Conrry, 1st Marchioness of Mendigorría. He fought with his brother Luis in the First Carlist War. He belonged to the Moderate Party and later to the Democratic-Radical Party. He was President of the Government for a single day. He was a senator for life from 1847 to 1868 and for the province of Soria from 1871 to 1873, during the reign of Amadeo of Savoy. In the portrait it is possible to clearly see his decorations, located on the left side of his chest. Starting from the top: Knight Grand Cross of the Royal and Distinguished Spanish Order of Charles III (established by this monarch in 1771); on the left, that of Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic (instituted by Ferdinand VII in 1815); below the previous one, the insignia of Knight of the Insigne and Royal Order of Saint Januarius (military order of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, established in 1738). And almost covered by the lapel, the one awarded in 1850 when he was named Knight Grand Cross of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Ferdinand (established in 1811). The one that remains to be identified, next to the previous one, could be the decoration of Knight Grand Cross of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Hermenegildo. In addition, he was awarded the recognition of Knight Grand Cross in diamonds of the Order of Pius IX.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
