Description from the seller
Large Silver Elephant Figurine – Impressive Italian Laminato Argento Sculpture
This commanding large-scale elephant sculpture is a striking decorative piece, ideal for collectors of animal figurines, Italian silverware, or bold home accents.
It has a substantial weight of 2,783 grams (approx. 89.5 troy oz) and impressive dimensions of 30 cm (L) × 22.5 cm (H) × 12.5 cm (W).
Description
Expertly crafted with realistic detailing: large ears showing natural folds and veins, a textured trunk with characteristic ridges, expressive eyes, and finely modeled feet. The tusks are made of a contrasting ivory or bone-like material.
The surface has a high-polish, reflective metallic finish that catches light beautifully, giving it a luxurious presence.
It stands stably and makes a perfect statement piece on a console, mantel, or in a curated collection.
Hallmarks / Marks
• Blue circular label: Clearly marked “LAMINATO ARGENTO” with a central geometric logo. This confirms it is Italian .925 silver-laminated (a silver-plated process over a weighted core, often resin or composite for substantial feel and stability).
• Additional mark: Circular stamp on Elephant body with lettering including “Laminato” and “Ag”.
Laminato Argento is a well-known Italian technique for high-quality .925 silver-plated decorative objects, popular in the late 20th century.
These pieces are valued for their weight, durability, and brilliant shine.
Art Style and Production
• Style: Realistic yet decorative animal sculpture with smooth, polished surfaces and strong anatomical details.
• Origin: Italy.
• Period: Likely 1970s–1990s (vintage production).
Condition
Excellent overall condition with a bright, mirror-like polish. Minor signs of age/wear may be present consistent with a used decorative item.
Buyer note: All items are carefully inspected, accurately photographed from multiple angles, and professionally packed with extra protection before shipping. Buyers are kindly requested to make a short video of the package opening and then inspect the item promptly.
