It stands stably and makes a perfect statement piece on a console, mantel, or in a curated collection. Hallmarks / Marks • Blue circular label: Clearly marked “LAMINATO ARGENTO” with a central geometric logo. This confirms it is Italian .925 silver-laminated (a silver-plated process over a weighted core, often resin or composite for substantial feel and stability). • Additional mark: Circular stamp on Elephant body with lettering including “Laminato” and “Ag”. Laminato Argento is a well-known Italian technique for high-quality .925 silver-plated decorative objects, popular in the late 20th century. These pieces are valued for their weight, durability, and brilliant shine.
