AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant collectible sculpture depicting a small duckling (or little bird), made in silver with 800 fineness.
The piece stands out for its exceptional Italian artisanal workmanship, characterized by the meticulous filigree-like processing of the body in continuous silver wire (the “hair/feather” technique), which gives extraordinary realism and softness to the plumage.
The head and beak are retouched by chasing with a beautiful patina of the period.
The object regularly bears the legal assay marks on the foot: the 800 fineness and the factory mark 615 FI, attributing the authorship of the work to the prestigious silversmith company Fratelli Lisi & Figli of Florence (active with this mark since 1976).
Details and Measurements:
Material: Silver 800
Maker/Silversmith: F.lli Lisi e Figli (Florence) - Master mark 615 FI
Dimensions: Height 3.5 cm | Base footprint 6 x 4 cm
Total weight: 38 grams

Perfect as a refined decorative element, a luxury gift idea, or a piece to add to a collection of Italian 20th-century art silver.
