AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Guerrini "Poker" – Wooden game box in premium wood with an embossed Silver 925 plate and gold details – Collection "I Capolavori" – With Certificate and Scorekeeper
DESCRIPTION OF THE LOT
Description of the item:
In the auction, an elegant and refined tabletop gaming box from the renowned Italian art craftsmanship Guerrini, part of the famous and exclusive series "I Capolavori". A piece of high craftsmanship that unites the art of silversmithing with collecting tied to the world of gambling and poker.
The Cover and the Silver Plate:
The lid is entirely adorned with a splendid embossed plate in solid Silver 925, enhanced by very fine finishes and gold details.
Subject: Titled "Poker", the work depicts in a striking modernist style a hand holding four aces (spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts), a golden goblet, matches and an ashtray with a lit cigarette, whose sinuous smoke outlines on the background the profile of a female face.
Signature and Authenticity: The plate is regularly signed "Guerrini" in relief in the lower right corner and bears the visible state marks for Silver 925 (see macro photo).
Structure and Materials:
The Wood: The box is solid and constructed in fine dark-veneer wood, whose density and tone resemble mahogany or a similar essence, finished with a frame and moldings that accentuate its luster.
The Inside: Lifting the lid provides access to the inner compartment, cleverly divided into sections ideal for holding decks of cards, chips or tokens. The interior lining is entirely made of an elegant brushed velvet in taupe/beige, soft to the touch and perfect for preserving the gaming accessories. The rear of the lid is finished in taut green fabric.
Included Accessories:
Original Certificate: The lot is accompanied by its valuable original Guerrini Certificate of Guarantee – The Art of Silver that attests to the title of the work ("Poker") and the processing on the 925 silver plate with gold finishes.
Scorekeeper: Inside the box there is also a delightful and charming vintage scorekeeper, coordinating with the set to enrich its completeness and charm.
Conditions:
The item presents in excellent overall cosmetic condition with signs of wear due to time. The silver plate retains a splendid glossy patina with very light and normal signs of aging (small superficial dots from the era’s protective lacquer that guarantee authenticity and total originality, with no invasive restoration). The wood and hinges are stable.
