Beautiful large vintage decorative sculpture of a grape cluster (grappolo d’uva) by the Italian maker ARDE (also marked as Ardè / Ardi), produced in Italy using the high-quality 925 Laminato AG technique. This eye-catching piece features a realistically modeled bunch of shiny silver grapes with beautifully detailed leaves, stem, and tendrils. It is crafted with a thick layer of sterling-quality silver lamination over a resin/composite core — much more substantial and durable than standard plating. The piece is handmade, clearly marked “Laminato AG”.
