Chiara Scotto Pasanisi dei Foscarini

Silver Tableware Auction

Elegant single candlestick in 800 silver, finely handcrafted in Baroque/18th-century style.

The piece stands out for its extraordinary craftsmanship: it is not filled (no plaster, resin, or counterweights in the base), but is made entirely of 100% solid silver, as evident from the rough casting visible inside the base.

It features a baluster shaft with fluted sections and a central, finely gadrooned node. The circular, non-square base is enriched with broad shaped volutes that give the piece dynamism and great stability.

On the edge of the base are clearly stamped the Italian legal hallmarks:
• 800: indicates the purity of the silver.
• hexagonal lozenge "15 TV": historic identifying mark of the silversmith Ubaldo San Donà, active in Treviso (Via Carlo Alberto).

elegante candeliere singolo in argento 800  finemente lavorato a mano in stile Barocco/Settecentesco.
L'oggetto si distingue per la straordinaria qualità manifatturiera: non è riempito (senza gesso, resina o contrappesi nella base), ma è interamente in argento massiccio al 100%, come visibile dalla fusione grezza presente all'interno della base.
Presenta un fusto a balaustro con sezioni scanalate e un nodo centrale finemente godronato a spicchi. La base circolare mistilinea è arricchita da ampie volute sagomate che donano dinamicità e grande stabilità all'oggetto.
Sul bordo della base sono chiaramente impressi i punzoni di legge italiani:
• 800: titolo della purezza dell'argento.
• losanga esagonale "15 TV": storico marchio di identificazione dell'argentiere Ubaldo San Donà, attivo a Treviso (Via Carlo Alberto).
