Solid silver statuette – Immaculate Virgin on a starry globe – Spain, star hallmark (.915), circa 1935–1960
Beautiful religious statuette in solid silver depicting the Immaculate Virgin.
The Virgin is depicted standing, hands crossed over the chest and gaze turned toward the sky. She rests on a globe adorned with eight-pointed stars, a Marian symbol. The statuette is mounted on a turned blackened wood base.
The work is in repoussé and chased silver, with an expressive rendering of the face and drapery.

• Hallmark: official Spanish hallmark “five-pointed star in a circle” (in use from 1934, guaranteeing the .915/1000 standard) – visible at the base of the gown (see photos)
Condition: good overall; small age-related cracks visible at the solder joint between the globe and the gown, scuffs and wear consistent with age; base slightly marked.
The photos are an integral part of the description of the items and complement their presentation. They allow you to assess its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any bidding.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to guarantee fast and secure delivery.
