AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant sculptural miniature of a dog made in sterling silver 925, Italian production from the mid-20th century, roughly the 1940s–1950s.
The figure stands out for the delicacy of its modeling and the quality of the craftsmanship, especially visible in the finely etched texture that reproduces the animal's coat with great realism. The elegant and expressive posture perfectly conveys the noble and attentive character of the dog.
Made in solid sterling silver 925, it retains a beautiful natural patina that enhances the reliefs and adds authenticity to the piece. It bears visible hallmarks corresponding to Italian production of the period.
European silver miniatures in small format are increasingly appreciated by both collectors and silver investors, as they combine artistic value, ease of preservation, and the added appeal of solid silver worked by hand.
