AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exquisite miniature figure of a dachshund, a work by the renowned Spanish silversmith master Francisco Vera, one of the most outstanding 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 firm legs, drooping ears, and the expressive snout that characterizes this breed.
Every 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 925 sterling silver, the piece features a natural patina that adds character and authenticity, silent testimony to its long history.
Francisco Vera’s animalist miniatures are increasingly scarce on the market and highly sought after by Spanish and international collectors, which makes this piece of special artistic and patrimonial value.
