Description from the seller
Beautiful silver plaque depicting two cherubs or angels kissing. The object is a type of icon or small picture, often used as a favor or decorative item with a religious or romantic theme.
Main Details
The image shows two cherubs in relief, one giving a kiss on the cheek to the other. One of the cherubs also has wings reminiscent of a butterfly (Psyche), while the other has more traditional angel wings (Cupid).
Material: The object is made of silver or silver-plated, as suggested by the color and glossy finish, as well as the search results for similar products.
Style: The design is classic and clearly inspired by the famous 1890 painting 'Love and Psyche, children' by William-Adolphe.
The visible stamps in the image are a manufacturer’s identifying mark ('TA') and an indication of silver content ('Ag2g 60').
Punch Details
TA: It refers to the manufacturer's identification mark or the 'sponsor' (sponsor's mark). The specific combination of letters is not universally standardized but identifies the manufacturer of the object.
Ag2g 60:
Ag is the chemical symbol for silver, derived from argentum.
60 indicates the purity or the silver content in thousandths (600/1000), meaning the object is composed of 60% pure silver and the remaining 40% of other metals (usually copper). This purity is lower than the standard 800 or 925, which are the most common in Italy.
The 'g' could be an abbreviation or an additional specification of the manufacturing or plating process.
In summary, the item is made of silver with a purity of 600/1000, produced by a company with the initials 'TA'.
Dimensions 7x16cm
