AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage silver 800 tableware - 12 coasters Mario Agostini (307 FI) and 1 contemporaneous bottle coaster - Italy, circa 1960
Refined vintage dining set consisting of 13 pieces in 800 silver: twelve coordinating coasters and a large bottle coaster. The 12 coasters were entirely crafted in Florence by the renowned silversmith Mario Agostini (mark 307 FI), workshop registered in March 1957, and they are distinguished by the finely embossed wavy edge with scrolls. The large bottle coaster, of a slightly different shape but perfectly contemporary and harmonious in design, features a shell motif alternating with small spheres; the related silver mark is currently illegible due to time, but the piece tests as 800 silver. A set of great presence for twelve people.
• 12 Coasters: Mario Agostini — Identifying mark 307 FI (Florence)
• 1 Bottle coaster: Italian silversmith not identifiable (mark worn/illegible)
Total weight of the lot: 150 grams
Excellent vintage condition. The objects show normal signs of time, use and the natural patina that attest to their era. Structurally sound, without significant dents. Note the difference in craftsmanship and hallmark between the small pieces and the large piece (please view carefully the photo gallery) they require professional polishing.
Historical Information on the Main Mark
The mark 307 FI historically identifies the jewelry and silver workshop of Mario Agostini, located in Via Madonna delle Querce in Florence. Officially registered on 14/03/1957, the atelier stood out in the second half of the 20th century for the production of refined decorative accessories, upholding the prestigious tradition of the Florentine silversmithing school.
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.
