Description from the seller

Exquisite miniature figure of a seated dog, the work of the renowned Spanish silversmith master Francisco Vera, an undeniable reference in XX-century animal sculpture in silver, made in 925 sterling silver.

The piece stands out for its extraordinary chisel and engraving work: every curl of the coat, every fold of the skin, and the animal's characteristic expression have been reproduced with meticulousness and artistic sensitivity that only a master of Francisco Vera’s caliber could achieve.

The balanced proportions and flawless finish make this miniature a small-format work of art.

This type of solid silver animalist sculptures were part of the most refined private collections in twentieth-century Europe, being highly valued for both their artistic value and the quality of the material.

Today, Francisco Vera miniatures are increasingly scarce on the market and highly sought after by Spanish and international collectors, which makes this piece of special patrimonial and artistic value.

Perfect for display cases, desks, or as a special gift for lovers of classic Spanish goldsmithing and animal sculpture. Author: Francisco Vera
