International Silver Auction

Intense high relief in silver plate titled "Maternity," an authentic work by Neapolitan master sculptor and goldsmith Antonio Borrelli (1928-2014).

The workmanship on the front combines shiny areas of bright silver with deep dark burnishing in the recesses, creating a strong chiaroscuro effect that enhances the dynamism of the embrace with the child, who appears to be asleep. 
The back is "in negative," displaying the typical marks of artistic casting. 

Made from a consistent full cast, which gives the piece remarkable weight and three-dimensionality. 

The work is mounted within its elegant original wooden frame with gold molding, with a light-colored fabric mat. 

A unique piece, not a serialized one, as attested by the Certificate of Authenticity. 

Approximate dimensions: 
- plate only: 24 x 18 cm; weight 848 g. 
- entire painting: 47 x 42 cm; weight approximately 2750 g (frame + plate).

Intenso altorilievo in lastra argento dal titolo "Maternità", opera autentica del maestro scultore e designer orafo partenopeo Antonio Borrelli (1928-2014).

La lavorazione sul fronte unisce zone lucide dal colore argenteo vivo a profonde bruniture scure negli incavi, creando un forte chiaroscuro che esalta il dinamismo dell'abbraccio con il bambino, che appare addormentato. 
Il retro si presenta "in negativo", mostrando i segni tipici della fusione d'arte.

Realizzata su una consistente fusione piena, che dona al pezzo un peso e una tridimensionalità notevoli.

L'opera è montata all'interno della sua elegante cornice originale in legno e modanatura dorata, con passpartout in tessuto chiaro.

Pezzo unico, non seriale, come attestato dal Certificato di autenticità.

Dimensioni indicative:
- sola lastra: 24 x 18 cm; peso 848 gr.
- intero quadro: 47 x 42 cm; peso circa 2750 gr (cornice + lastra).
