AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A symbol of history and prestige to display on your own desk!
This extraordinary antique solid bronze paperweight fuses the strength of military memory with the elegance of the art of metal casting.
Depicting an antique helmet adorned with a majestic plume chiselled in bronze, the piece captures attention for the extraordinary rendering of details and for the warm glow of the original gilding. Perfect for elite militaria collectors, lovers of industrial vintage, or for anyone desiring a scenographic and history-rich paperweight for their desk.
The upper part features a dynamic, flowing relief work that simulates the mane or decorative plumes typical of ceremonial helmets and the uniforms of high-ranking officers of the era.
The reverse of the base, finely turned smooth, bears an era-mark punched into the metal, testimony to the attribution of the foundry or the serial piece.
This type of object was commissioned as a corps souvenir, an honor prize, or a refined desk accessory for officers and students of military history.
The piece is in generally good condition with a fascinating patina of time that enhances its engravings. A unique piece with a strong evocative charge, ready to enrich a private collection or a prestigious library.
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
