Description from the seller
Vintage Italian Squirrel on Branch and mushrooms Figurine
A highly detailed and beautifully cast decorative sculpture. This naturalist sculpture depicts an alert squirrel perched atop a textured tree branch, accented by clusters of small, golden-colored mushrooms growing near the base.
The piece utilizes selective oxidation within the bark recesses to provide realistic contrast against the mirror-polished finish of the squirrel. It remains in excellent vintage condition with sharp, easily legible hallmarks.
Material: 925 Sterling Silver Laminated over an internal structural core, mounted on a polished, oval black lacquered wood base.
Hallmarks: Clear oval 925 silver purity stamp, Laminato and the official maker's hallmark "ROMAR". The underside features a gold foil boutique label from "Sogno di Donna Gioielleria, Lamezia Terme (CZ).
This piece features Romar’s signature "Finitura Brunita" (Artisanal Burnished Finish), a distinctive design choice across their entire collection. Rather than a flat, mirror-like gloss, the 925 silver is treated with selective, deep-grey oxidation within the crevices of the textured fur and tree bark. This creates a striking, antique-style contrast that emphasizes the fine craftsmanship, giving the animalier sculpture exceptional depth and realistic detail.
Total Weight: 172 grams (including the internal structural material and wood base).
Dimensions: 8 cm (Length) x 5.5 cm (Width) x 8.5 cm (Height).
Origin & Date: Made in Italy by the renowned artisan silversmith Romar (established in 1976). This specific piece dates to the late 20th century (circa 1980s–1990s).
Art Style: Traditional Naturalist / Realist Animalier style, capturing a squirrel perched atop a realistically textured tree branch with high-relief details.
Highly collectible due to the popular Romar artisan brand name and premium 925 sterling silver purity.
