AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Don Quixote figure in 915 sterling silver

Magnificent sculpture of Don Quixote de la Mancha, the immortal knight created by Miguel de Cervantes, made of hallmarked sterling silver with a star (equivalent to 915 thousandths).
The work, of great artistic quality, dates from approximately the years 1930–1940, and represents the hero from La Mancha in an upright position, with his helmet in his hand and his spear extended towards the sky.

The figure stands out for its detailed goldsmithing: the meticulously chiseled armor, Don Quixote's expressive face, and the black marble base that lends elegance and solidity to the composition.

The finish strikes a balance between Castilian sobriety and chivalric nobility, evoking the romantic spirit of Cervantes's work.
• Material: hallmarked 915 sterling silver, black marble base
• Era: circa 1930–1940
• Total height: 43 cm (to the tip of the spear)
• Base measurements: 10 × 10 cm
• Total weight: 890 g

Condition: excellent, with slight signs of age that confirm its authenticity and age.

A piece of great collector's and decorative interest, linked to one of the most universal characters in Spanish literature.
