AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ottaviani 925 Silver Curved Panoramic Photo Frame – Magnitudo Artis Line, Italy
Rare and elegant “curved 925 silver” picture frame by the prestigious Italian silversmith “Ottaviani”.
Dimensions: Overall approx. 31 x 15 cm – perfect panoramic format with a graceful arched/curved profile that adds depth and a sculptural presence.
Design highlights:
- 925 sterling silver construction (confirmed by hallmark).
- Beautiful hammered (martellato) textured surface for a tactile, artisanal finish – catches light beautifully with subtle variations in the raised dots/hammer marks.
- Ornate embossed borders with flowing floral/scroll motifs in brushed and polished silver tones.
- Central protective glass panel
Hallmarks & authenticity(clearly visible on the back/base):
- "MAGNITUDO ARTIS" (Ottaviani's signature artistic line/brand).
- "OTTAVIANI 1945" (foundation year of the company).
- "OPERA DEPOSITATA" (registered design/protected work).
- "MADE IN ITALY".
- Standard 925 purity mark (in an oval).
Ottaviani is highly collectible for its mid-century to contemporary Italian craftsmanship – pieces from the Magnitudo Artis series (sculptures, frames, vases, etc.) frequently appear in auctions and specialist sales, valued for quality silverwork and unique designs.
Ideal for:
- Displaying wide-format photos, landscapes, family portraits, or travel memories.
- As a standout decorative accent on a console, shelf, or mantel – the curve gives it a modern yet timeless sculptural quality.
Condition: Well-preserved vintage/used piece with lovely natural patina; minor age-related wear consistent with handling (light surface marks expected on hammered silver – please examine detailed photos).
Ready to ship safely padded – a special heirloom-quality piece!
