AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of silver crane figures – Spain – Exclusively handcrafted work from the 20th century
Total weight: 124 g (60 g and 64 g).
Dimensions: 12.5 cm long × 3.5 cm wide × 17.5 cm high
Contrasted silver (verified by acid test)
Condition: Very good overall condition
Impressive pair of herons made in Spanish silver, entirely handcrafted by specialized artisans. Each piece showcases magnificent modeling of the plumage, crafted through deep and precise incisions that create a realistic and dynamic effect. The slender silhouettes, curved necks, and elongated legs faithfully reproduce the natural elegance of these birds.
One of the herons has its head slightly raised, while the other keeps its neck in a more horizontal position, creating a harmonious and balanced composition when displayed together. The proportions and posture convey serenity, movement, and refined artistic sensitivity.
On the legs of both pieces, two characteristic Spanish contrasts are observed, including the five-pointed star, a punch used by artisan silver workshops in Spain during the second half of the 20th century.
This pair clearly corresponds to exclusive Spanish works, produced in small series by goldsmiths specialized in silver zoomorphic figures.
