Description from the seller

Complete Set of 7 Italian “Impero Argenti” .925 Sterling Silver Laminated Fruit Sculptures / Figurines

Description
A beautiful and cohesive collection of seven large-scale fruit and vegetable sculptures by the Italian maker Impero Argenti.

The set comprises:
• Corn cob
• Bunch of grapes
• Apple
• Pear
• Mandarin / orange
• Fig
• Plum

Each piece is realistically sculpted with fine textural details (kernels, grape spheres, leaves, etc.) and finished in a luxurious polished silver surface.

They function wonderfully as standalone decorative objects or as a striking grouped still-life display on a table, mantel, or in a cabinet.

Production & Style
• Maker: Impero Argenti (confirmed via original oval stickers reading “LE ALTRE DI IMPERO ARGENTI – LAMINATO ARGENTO”).

• Origin: Italy.

• Date: Late 20th century (circa 1970s–1990s).

• Art Style: Realistic naturalistic Italian decorative silverware. These are high-quality “Laminato Argento” pieces—sterling silver (.925) laminated/plated over a supportive base for durability and brilliance.

Hallmarks & Markings
• 925 Silver Laminated
• Brand stickers: “Impero Argenti” and “Laminato Argento” (with the distinctive oval logo featuring a pediment-style design: “LE ALTRE DI IMPERO ARGENTI”).
• Some hallmarks partially faded as typical for these pieces but fully consistent with the brand.

Measurements & Weights (from original labels)
• Corn cob: 431g, 20.5 × 6 × 4 cm
• Grape cluster: 366g, 16 × 11 × 5 cm
• Apple: 398g, 9.5 × 7.5 × 8 cm
• Pear: 319 g, 8 x 7 x 10 cm
• And others ranging 135–253 g with corresponding sizes.

Total Weight: 2058 g

Condition
Very good vintage condition. Minor surface wear, tarnish, and sticker aging consistent with age and use. No breaks, dents, or repairs noted. Excellent overall presentation.

This elegant Italian-made set will appeal to lovers of quality silver objects and sophisticated home accessories. High-resolution photos of the stickers, marks, weights, and group display are essential for the listing.

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. Please contact me with clear photos and the video (including packaging) if any issue arises. Claim will be accepted only on these conditions. Thank you for your understanding.
