AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Pierrot decorative wall masks in a classical style, made in Italy in September 1990 by the Milanese manufactory L.C.L. Elleciele Argenterie (punch 1204 MI).
The objects come with the complete original period accessories: handwritten warranty slips, care instructions, and price tags in Lire (235,000 and 174,000 Lire).
Made with a sheet of genuine 800 silver applied in thickness over a solid core of high-quality ceramic plaster (gessoite), they feature mirror-polished surfaces with classical reliefs subtly shaded in gold.
Along the edge are impressed the Italian legal hallmarks: the oval for 800 silver, the R (Rivestito) mark, and the controlled silver weight (10–15 g per piece).
On the side there is an engraved cursive signature of the sculptor, partially legible and not fully deciphered.
The large mask (Model 274 No. 84) weighs 283 grams, has an elaborate headdress with a spray of golden flowers on the cheek, and is an exclusive limited edition numbered on the back 84/100.
The small mask (Model 230 No. 99) measures 12 cm in height by 8.5 cm in width, weighs 216 grams, and has an asymmetric design with golden shading around the eyes.
The total weight of the lot is 499 grams. Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition, intact, mirrored, and complete with the original rear hanger for display.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
