AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant mini serving pedestal with a stand and gracefully curled side handles, entirely crafted in solid silver, fineness 800.
The piece stands out for the high level of workmanship: a repoussé-edged rim decorated with geometric and floral motifs, a gadrooned base, and two splendid handles worked in Baroque/Neoclassical style.
On the base of the foot (as visible in the photo) are clearly stamped the legal hallmarks: the silver fineness "800" and the Italian factory mark "🟄 135 RI", which identifies the production of the historic artisanal manufactory of Cesare Formichetti in Rieti, active since the late 1960s.
Conditions: The item 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 purchaser's discretion).
A small masterpiece of Italian silverware, ideal for collectors or as a precious decorative detail for display cabinets or desks.
Measurements: Height 3.5 cm, Width 6.7 cm, Length 12 cm
Shipping: Professional and meticulous packaging.
