We proudly introduce an exquisite pair of 925 silver statues that are certain to captivate art enthusiasts and collectors of rare pieces. Each statue boasts an impressive 500gr of silver, guaranteeing a total of 1kg of genuine silver in both, rendering them priceless treasures. The statues carry a substantial weight, as other materials were used as a mold before being covered with silver, resulting in a net weight of 2.674kg and 3.035kg for each statue.

These magnificent art pieces hold a fascinating history: originally crafted from a robust material (likely clay or metal, given their substantial density), they have been meticulously coated with high-quality 925 silver, ensuring a grand total of 1 kg of silver per 2 statues. The depiction of a charming boy and a graceful girl as a couple adds to the captivating representation of the sculptor's skill, paying tribute to the creativity of Bruno Merli.

Bruno Merli, a renowned Italian artist, left an indelible mark on the early 20th-century sculpture world. His exceptional talent shines through in the various works he created for illustrious companies like Capodimoneti, firmly establishing him as an esteemed figure in the art scene. These statues transcend mere silver objects, embodying true pieces of history and art.

Each statue is meticulously hallmarked and registered, displaying the weight of the silver and the 925 content on the back, guaranteeing unparalleled authenticity and quality. With dimensions of 20cm in height and 14cm in width and depth, these pieces stand as a testament to Merli's mastery and the rarity of the creations he left behind.

Imagine the incredible satisfaction of owning 1 kg of silver, not in the form of a standard ingot, but as a part of an invaluable piece of art. These extraordinary statues, crafted by a master of Italian sculpture, are a genuine tribute to beauty and artistic skill. Without a doubt, they will become a cherished gem in your collection, adding an element of elegance and rarity that's beyond compare."
