AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A magnificent Portuguese silver eagle, expertly crafted in 925 sterling silver and weighing an impressive 29 grams, richly adorned with elaborate ornamentation and a radiant mother-of-pearl centerpiece. This substantial piece reflects the highest level of traditional Portuguese silversmith artistry.
The eagle is powerfully rendered, its presence bold and authoritative, with finely detailed feathers and sculptural depth that convey strength and nobility. Surrounding the figure, dense Portuguese floral and scroll motifs are intricately engraved, covering the surface with refined, flowing decoration that enhances the visual richness of the piece.
At the heart of the design, the natural mother-of-pearl inlay introduces a soft, iridescent luminosity, creating an elegant contrast with the gleaming sterling silver. The interplay between the luminous pearl tones and the ornate silverwork adds dimension, sophistication, and a sense of timeless luxury.
Meticulously finished and beautifully balanced, this eagle is both a symbolic statement and a collectible work of art—ideal for connoisseurs of fine silver, heritage jewelry, or distinguished decorative pieces.
