AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An refined and exclusive author-made desk paperweight, born from an idea by the renowned Italian artist Giuseppe Ajmone and produced for the art editions “La Spirale”.
This is a genuine sculptural object for the desk that masterfully blends aesthetics and functionality. The upper part is finely shaped in 800 silver (as evidenced by the hallmarks visible on the surface) and features a captivating high-relief figurative sculpture of striking visual impact. The body and base of the piece are instead made of solid brass (weight approximately 403.42 g), a material contrast that lends timeless elegance and guarantees the perfect stability and heft needed for its purpose.
The piece is in excellent conservational condition. Being vintage, it shows slight and entirely natural signs of aging; the natural patina of the metal certifies its authenticity and enhances its historical charm.
The paperweight comes complete with its original box (with dark velvet interior and white satin) and the era’s paper certificate of authenticity.
A must-have collectible for lovers of Italian design, of silverware, and of art objects, perfect to adorn a study or as a gift.
