Description from the seller
Leonardo Argenti - "Elf Boy" (Il Folletto) Scaramantic Figurine - 925 Laminated Silver - "La Smorfietta" Collection
Brand/Maker: Leonardo Argenti
Collection: La Smorfietta (Italian Good Luck / Scaramantic Series)
Place of Production: Recanati, Italy.
Date of Production: Late 20th Century / Early 2000s (Contemporary Vintage).
Art Style: Whimsical Pop Art / Italian Scaramantic Design (Features highly stylized cute elements combined with a flawless mirror finish).
Material: 925 Silver Laminate (Laminato AG) over an internal resin core.
An incredibly charming, highly reflective matching lot from the iconic Italian good luck giftware line "La Smorfietta" by Leonardo Argenti. This piece depicts a stylized "Elf Boy" (Folletto) in a deeply expressive, playful pose—leaning tightly forward with a whimsical finger-to-mouth gesture.
The figurine is designed with a striking combination of a polished silver surface coat and beautiful warm-toned metallic highlights on the skin, boots, and pointed hat. On the lower rear fold of the elf's clothing, the artist's original flowing signature profile is cleanly integrated into the mold.
This lot is ideal for collectors of fine Italian metalwork or lucky talismans. It comes exceptionally well-preserved alongside its original burgundy geometric pattern presentation box and La Smorfietta booklet.
Total Weight: 195 grams (robust, weighted base feel).
Dimensions: 6.5 cm × 4.5 cm × 11 cm
Markings: Stamped artist signature on the lower mold.
Condition: Excellent pristine condition. The mirror finish retains full original brilliance with no visible wear, scuffs, or tarnishing.
