Description from the seller
Extraordinary authentic Cornucopia by Marchetti Preziosi, crafted on a sheet of laminated silver. Horn-shaped vase, filled with fruits and crowned with herbs and flowers, symbol of prosperity and fertility and an iconographic attribute of the deities regarded as dispensers of earth’s goods; originally, one of Amalthea the goat’s horns, nurse of Jupiter.
Conditions: the piece is in excellent condition, measuring about 5.5 x 14 x 9 cm
As an antique item, a true vintage piece, it may show slight signs of wear, entirely normal and characteristic of its history.
Laminated silver is a material made from a base, less precious metal (such as copper, brass, bronze or aluminum) coated with a thick layer of pure silver, usually 800‰ or 925‰ fineness.
**Craftsmanship and Excellence**

Their skill combines with unique creativity and strong entrepreneurial dynamism, giving life to small and large works of art renowned for their elegance and refinement.

All pieces are handcrafted in Italy and are characterized by an aesthetic meticulously detailed, with exclusive chiaroscuro effects and a high quality of materials used. Each creation represents a unique fusion of originality, refinement and artistic ingenuity, making them particularly appreciated by art and beauty connoisseurs, both nationally and internationally.
Each piece is completed with a fully manual finish, using Pure Silver and 24K Gold of superb quality.
