Romar - Figurine - Young Gentleman - Silverplated

Romar Preziosi d'Arte – Rare silver-plated figurine "Uomo elegante / Roman" man posing, Collezione Argenti DG, hallmarks "Romar DG 92", complete with original box + certificate, Italy circa 1990s

High-quality Italian silver-plated sculpture from the renowned Romar Preziosi d'Arte Collezione Argenti DG.

The figurine depicts a stylish gentleman in a long overcoat, waistcoat, tie and trousers, captured in a confident dynamic pose: one hand adjusting the coat lapel, the other at his side, with a refined thoughtful expression – a classic elegant dandy figure (collector notes often refer to it as "Roman" or "Man Posing").

Crafted using Romar's distinctive deposizione d'argent (silver electro-deposition) technique on a finely modelled artisan base, delivering exceptional detail in facial features, clothing textures, folds, buttons and accessories. The square base features an elegant plaid/grid pattern.

- Engraved "Romar"
- Hexagonal/octagonal stamp containing "DG" (for Argenti DG collection)
- "92" (indicating the silver finish standard in this plated series)
