AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Religious sculpture in 925 sterling silver by the renowned Spanish firm Alberty, Zaragoza, specializing in goldsmithing and sacred art during the second half of the 20th century.
The piece depicts the Virgin of Mount Carmel holding the Child Jesus with Carmelite scapulars, one of the most important symbols of Catholic tradition. The Child Jesus is detachable, a sculptural detail uncommon and of great collector interest.
The work stands out for its elegant modernist design and for the quality of the casting and artisanal finish, characteristic of Spanish production in the 1970s–1980s. It preserves a beautiful original patina that enhances the relief and depth of the composition.
Marked in 925 sterling silver and model number “207”.
Two small holes are observed at the top of the Virgin’s head, probably originally intended for a crown or ornamental diadem currently absent, something common in certain devotional sculptures of the period.
Weight: 159 g.
Height: 11.5 cm.
Width: 4 cm.
Depth: 3.5 cm.
Overall good condition, with slight signs of aging and use commensurate with its age.
A very decorative and collectible piece, ideal for collectors of sacred art, Spanish silver, and 20th-century religious sculpture.
