Exceptional collectible piece: a large articulated swordfish, fully crafted in 925 sterling silver. This imposing sculpture, typical of mid-20th-century Spanish high-silverware, is a masterpiece of jewelry engineering.

The body is composed of finely worked and overlapping scales that allow a fluid and realistic movement, simulating the fish's swimming.

Main features:

• Material: Solid Sterling Silver (Stamped "STERLING SPAIN").

• Dimensions: Overall length of 48 cm (a rare size, far larger than common models).

• Weight: Substantial 400 grams.

• Details: The eyes are embellished with red cabochons, creating a vivid color contrast with the silver’s luster.

• Craftsmanship: Spanish artisanal work from the period (1930s-1940s), with detailed engravings on the fins and head.

Condition:

The piece is in excellent vintage condition. The articulation is perfectly functioning and smooth. No missing parts or repairs. The natural patina of the silver has been preserved.
