AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Religious sculpture in 925 fine silver by the renowned Spanish firm Alberty, Zaragoza, specialized in goldsmithing and sacred art during the second half of the 20th century.
The piece depicts Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding the Child Jesus with Carmelite scapulars, one of the most important symbols of the Catholic tradition. The Child Jesus is detachable—a sculptural detail that is uncommon and of great collector interest.
The work stands out for its elegant Modernist design and for the quality of casting and artisanal finish, characteristic of Spanish production from the 1970s–1980s. It retains 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 seen at the top of the Virgin’s head, probably originally intended for a crown or ornamental diadem now 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 condition good, with light signs of aging and use consistent with its age.
A very decorative and collectible piece, ideal for collectors of sacred art, Spanish silver, and 20th-century religious sculpture.
