Extended Description:
Refined table grissini holder in solid 800-grade silver, Milanese manufacture from the mid-1930s. This object, also known as a "cradle" or servante, features the classic curved form ideal for gracefully serving Turin-style grissini or sliced bread at the center of the table.
The design is characterized by a formal simplicity interrupted by two sumptuous decorative ports in Neo-Rococo style, richly molded in relief and chased with foliate and scroll motifs, positioned at the central upper and lower edges.
The piece rests firmly on two rear contoured feet, which elevate the structure, giving it lightness and ease of handling.
A piece of Italian silverware history of excellent craftsmanship, perfect for collectors or to enrich a formal table with a touch of vintage elegance. It comes with a handwritten note attesting to its provenance and the decoding of the historic hallmarks.
