AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful vintage Italian decorative set consisting of a silver-laminated apple and a detailed fruit basket figurine by Laminato AG (associated with Arde / Ardè Argentieri).

Crafted using the classic Italian “Laminato AG” technique: a thick layer of 925-quality silver over a solid core, giving the pieces substantial weight and a highly reflective, luminous finish typical of quality Italian silverware from the late 20th century.

Details:

Apple: 140 g – approx. 6 × 5.5 × 4.5 cm
Restoration project, good vintage condition with natural wear.

Fruit basket: 143 g – approx. 9 × 7.5 × 4.5 cm, very good vintage condition with light wear.

Total weight of set: 283 g

Production period: circa 1970s–1990s (Italy).

These charming fruit-themed sculptures make elegant display pieces, paperweights or additions to a collection of Italian silver-laminated figurines.

The set comes with the original handwritten restoration/project note.

Condition: The Fruit Basket has a very good vintage condition with attractive shine and light age-related patina. The apple has natural vintage wear and a small defect but still beautiful to display - see photos.
