Description from the seller
Silver miniature giraffe – 835 silver – Dutch import hallmark ZII – CP+ silver maker 12.7 cm
Elegant miniature giraffe crafted in solid 835 silver and bearing the Dutch import hallmark ZII, indicating a silver fineness of 835/1000.
The figure is beautifully modelled with remarkable attention to detail. The characteristic giraffe pattern has been carefully engraved across the entire body and neck, while the expressive head and slender proportions create a graceful and decorative appearance.
Animal miniatures such as this became highly popular during the second half of the 20th century and were often acquired as collectible silver sculptures or luxury gift items. Today they are appreciated by both silver collectors and enthusiasts of wildlife-inspired decorative art.
The piece stands firmly on its four legs and displays an elegant elongated silhouette that makes it particularly attractive as a cabinet object, desk ornament or addition to a collection of silver animal figures.
Condition: good vintage condition with minor signs of age and use consistent with careful handling. Please refer to the photographs, which form an integral part of the description.
