AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extraordinary Pair of Lobster Serving Pieces (Soups/Centerpiece) – Sculptures in Solid Silver 800 – CESA 1882 (~5.9 kg) – Original Set. We present at auction an absolute masterpiece of high-end Italian silverware: a magnificent pair of lobster serving pieces crafted by the historic manufactory CESA 1882, a classic official supplier to the Presidency of the Italian Republic.

The lot consists of two imposing oval trays (58 x 31 cm) with a mirror finish, topped by two spectacular sculptural lids worked in the round. The sculptures reproduce with extreme realism the features of the lobster, attending to every minute detail of the carapace, claws and long antennae.

The two works are perfectly identical. The entire composition barely reaches 5.9 kg total (5,868 grams) of pure solid silver (finest 800). Each element bears stamped the title 800, the signature of the house CESA 1882 and the State hallmark ★ 1 AL.

Excellent condition, like new. The lot includes for one of the two specimens the original CESA 1882 box and the related International Guarantee certificate. An exceptional investment opportunity and luxury table decoration."}| }} (Note: The trailing characters appear to be accidental; the valid JSON is the object above.) } } } (Apologies, final correct JSON is provided below.) {"translated_text":"Extraordinary Pair of Lobster Serving Pieces (Soups/Centerpiece) – Sculptures in Solid Silver 800 – CESA 1882 (~5.9 kg) – Original Set.
