AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These artworks are five clowns produced in Italy, made of enamelled silver of at least 800 fineness and copper, depicting a music band. The lovingly designed objects are ideal as decorative or display pieces for lovers of unique artworks.
With their dimensions, these silver figures are a real eye-catcher in any collection of antiques and art.
The musical band consists of
- a violinist, 6 cm
- a clown with a marching bass drum, 6 cm
- a violinist, 5.5 cm
- a trumpet player, 5 cm
- and a harmonica player, 5.5 cm
The total weight of the five clowns is 231 grams.
The clowns were designed in the late 20th century by the Italian artist Vittorio Angini and produced in an Italian silversmith. They are a true feast for collectors and lovers of silver objects.
The clowns were created with a lot of love for detail. The 800 fineness silver is partially enamelled. Punch marks or maker stamps are largely absent. This is not unusual, as many of these clowns were not stamped at the time.
Condition see photos, no damages known / visible. Patina untreated, therefore age-related chipping of the enamel as well as darkening of the silver.
