AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A refined decorative sculpture depicting a group of mushrooms, crafted from 800/1000 silver, as attested by the "800" hallmark visible on the bottom (see photographs). Made by a goldsmith from Arezzo.
The composition features three mushrooms of different sizes, carefully modeled with considerable attention to naturalistic details: rounded and smooth caps, finely crafted stems with a vertical texture and a shaped base that recalls the forest floor.
The whole is harmonious, three-dimensional and well-proportioned.
The silver surface displays an original patina, with light oxidation and natural chromatic variations, particularly appreciated by collectors because they testify to the age of the object and enhance its authenticity.
A solid and well-finished object, likely cast and then handcrafted. Ideal as an ornament, a decorative display piece, or a collectible piece in figurative silver.
Good overall condition
Normal signs of aging and patina consistent with age. No cracks or missing parts.
Please refer to the photographs for a complete evaluation.
