Description from the seller
Antique Art Nouveau silver centerpiece by the renowned Sicilian silversmith Eugenio Stancampiano, Italy, 1930s
Refined centerpiece handcrafted with an embossed border featuring rocaille and phytomorphic motifs—a splendid example of period Italian design for collectors.
The hallmark shows the silver fineness (800) and the hexagon containing the silversmith's serial number (39), the province code (PA = Palermo), and the abraded fasces, namely the fascist emblem deliberately erased by the maker to comply with the 1944 law prohibiting the use of fascist symbols.
This erasure demonstrates that the piece was certainly produced before the introduction of new hallmarks in 1944, and presumably before Italy's entry into the war in 1940.
Dimensions: height 8 cm, diameter 25.5 cm. Weight 233 g.
Excellent condition, minor signs of aging.
