AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exquisite miniature silver figure of a horse, crafted in solid silver, by the renowned Spanish master silversmith Francisco Vera, an unquestioned reference in animal sculpture in silver in the 20th century.
The sculptural work stands out for its extraordinary level of detail: the musculature of the body, the curvature of the neck, the upright head, and the texture of the coat are reproduced with a precision and artistic sensitivity that convey movement, life, and naturalness. A miniature that reflects the deep knowledge of equine anatomy and the technical mastery that define Francisco Vera's work.
This type of solid-silver equestrian figures were pieces highly valued as decorative objects and high-value collections, especially among lovers of the equestrian world and Spanish classical goldsmithing.
Francisco Vera's 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.
