Vase (2) - Amphora with Dragon-shaped Handles, Green Hard Stone Cabochon and Chiseled Body + Plate, 1910s - .800 silver

Are you looking for the right gift for someone important to you? Are you having a party and don't know what to give for a loved one's wedding? We have the answer to your question. Choose a gift that speaks to the hearts of the newlyweds, this will make your gift even more special. Make sure that your thought remains imprinted in their memories forever! In the heart of Italy at the beginning of the 20th century, the art of silversmithing reached new heights of refinement and elegance. An extraordinary example of this mastery is represented by this 800 silver centerpiece, composed of two distinct but harmoniously complementary pieces: - A two-handled amphora, adorned with two dragon-shaped handles, symbols of strength and protection. The body of the amphora is finely chiseled and embossed with intricate floral decorations, evoking the beauty of nature. In the center of the amphora, two green hard stone cabochons catch the eye, adding a touch of luxury and mystery. - Plate chiseled and embossed with floral decorations that recall those of the amphora, creating a perfect visual harmony. The edge of the plate is worked with a linear geometric pattern, which gives a sense of balance and precision to the overall design. Further enriching its beauty, the plate features four green hard stone cabochons, arranged in such a way as to create an elegant contrast with the floral decorations made in the central part. The centerpiece is marked with the "800" hallmarks and a probable coat of arms of the silversmith, which attest to its authenticity and quality. These distinctive signs not only certify the value of the piece, but also tell a story of artisan tradition and excellence. This centerpiece, with its incredible strength and beauty, is not only a decorative object, but a true masterpiece that embodies the essence of Italian art and culture of the early twentieth century. Collectible Silver: This type of centerpiece represents a perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics. Milan's goldsmith tradition has a long history of craftsmanship, and in the 20th century, this tradition was enriched by modern influences that made silver objects even more fascinating and sophisticated. The craftsmen of the time used refined techniques to work the metal, creating unique pieces that combined tradition and modernity. In addition to its aesthetic beauty, this centerpiece also has historical and cultural value! It represents a period when the art of silversmithing was in full bloom in Milan, and each piece created during that period tells a story of dedication and passion for art. For collectors and art lovers, owning a piece like this is not only a visual treat, but also a way to connect with the city's rich artistic tradition.
