Description from the seller

Exquisite miniature figure of a dachshund, the work of the renowned Spanish silversmith Francisco Vera, one of the leading representatives of animal sculpture in silver in the 20th century, active during the 1930s and 1940s.

The piece reproduces with extraordinary fidelity the unmistakable silhouette of the dachshund: the elongated and compact body, short and sturdy legs, drooping ears, and the expressive snout that characterizes this breed.

Each anatomical detail has been crafted with a precision and artistic sensitivity that only a master of Francisco Vera’s stature could achieve.

Made in solid sterling silver 925, the piece features a natural patina that adds character and authenticity, a silent testament to its long history.

The animalist miniatures by Francisco Vera are increasingly scarce on the market and highly sought after by Spanish and international collectors, making this piece an acquisition of particular artistic and patrimonial value.
