AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large pomegranate-shaped sculpture created by VIOLA ARGENTI, the historic Italian silversmith, known as a workshop and shop of Master Silversmiths. Finely silver-plated and adorned with a rich inner enameling, the frontal crack reveals a dense mosaic of arilli (pomegranate arils) enameled in a deep, brilliant ruby red, faithfully recreating the natural look of a ripe pomegranate. This work of art blends the elegance of precious metal with the vivid realism of the details, making it a visually striking decorative piece.
The upper crown and the leaves at the base are finished with artisanal precision, giving stability and three-dimensionality to the entire figure.
Important Dimensions
• Height: 9 cm
• Width: 10 cm
• Its generous size makes it perfect as a centerpiece, a luxury paperweight, or a standout piece for a shop window display.
