International Silver Auction

an elegant vintage silver miniature in 800 silver finely handcrafted, depicting the famous French galleon "L'Orgueilleuse", resting on a fixed base bearing its name engraved.

The work stands out for its incredible level of detail: the fine rigging, the arrangement of the sails billowing in the wind, the cannons along the hull, and the texture of the hull make it a genuine jewel of Italian high silverware.

On the base and on the side of the hull, the 800 silver hallmarks and the maker's mark of the Florentine silversmith 285 FI (Franco Sacchi, workshop active in Florence since the mid-1950s) are clearly visible. A collectible piece ideal for enriching display windows or elegant studies.
