Rare display piece
Portugal

Superb display item consisting of a solid silver opening egg and its original stand, also in solid silver. Overall height of the piece: about 8 cm.

The egg is coated with a deep, bright green enamel, enhanced by a finely worked mount set with genuine pearls and faceted stones adding sparkle and refinement. The interior is mirror-polished, with a perfectly functioning hinge.

Showing various silver hallmarks, including the Lisbon 925 mark, visible on the bale and inside the egg, attesting to the metal’s quality.

The stand, also in solid silver, is richly worked. It features touches of blue enamel and a sculpted decorative motif. The whole is adorned with inset faceted stones, providing an elegant contrast between the egg’s intense green and the bluish tones of the base.

This is a particularly well-crafted piece of silversmithing, revealing refined craftsmanship and a high level of mastery of traditional techniques in solid silver, enamel, and marcasite setting.

The delicacy of the openwork, the quality of the finish, and the harmony between enamel, silver, and stones attest to a high-level creation intended for a discerning clientele.

Uncommon on the market, especially sought after when kept complete with its original stand.

A true collector’s piece or a refined display item.
