AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant small decorative pedestal with a stand and refined optional side handles, entirely made of solid silver, 800 fineness.

The piece stands out for the high level of craftsmanship: it features a raised decorative rim with geometric and floral motifs, a beaded base, and two splendid handles worked in Baroque/Neoclassical style.

On the base of the foot (as visible in the photo) the legal hallmarks are clearly impressed: the silver fineness "800" and the Italian maker's mark "🟄 135 RI," which identifies the production of the historic artisan manufactory of Cesare Formichetti in Rieti, active since the late 1960s.

Condition: The object is structurally impeccable, sound and free of dents or deformations. It shows a light, widespread natural patina due to age, which enriches its antique charm and highlights the relief details (it can be cleaned to restore the original mirrored shine, at the buyer's discretion).

A small masterpiece of Italian silverware, ideal for collectors or as a precious decor detail for display cases or desks.

Measurements: Height 3.5 cm, Width 6.7 cm, Length 12 cm

Shipping: Professional and careful packaging.
