Italian Silver Laminated Figurines – Signed Seated Ballerina & Ardè Angel – 129g A charming pair of vintage Italian decorative sculptures crafted using the traditional laminato AG (silver laminated) technique. The Seated Ballerina: This expressive piece depicts a dancer gracefully sitting on the ground, leaning forward to adjust her ballet slipper. The fluid, detailed drapery of her tutu creates a sense of dynamic movement and texture. The piece features an incised artist's signature on the reverse reading "Gianni". The Musical Angel: Produced by the renowned Italian brand Ardè, this adorable figurine portrays a wide-eyed cherub holding and playing a golden horn/trumpet. The sculpture features high-polished details, detailed hair, stylized wings, and a warm gold-accented heart emblem on the front. Brand / Silversmith: Ardè (for the angel figurine); Gianni (artist signature for the ballerina). Material: Laminato AG (Genuine 925 Silver Layer over a structural core). Both pieces feature an internal core heavily clad in a layer of genuine silver (Laminato Ag / Bilaminato). Hallmarks / Signatures: Ballerina: Stamped explicitly "LAMINATO Ag" and hand-engraved signature "Gianni" on the outer rim. Dimensions (Angel): Approx. 13 x 7 x 9 cm / Weight: 207 g Angel: Retains its original metallic foil maker's label on the base reading "ARDÈ – LAMINATO AG – MADE IN ITALY". Dimensions (Angel): Approx. 10 x 5.5 x 4.5 cm / Weight 176 g Condition: Both items have a very good vintage condition with minor age-related patina and light surface wear consistent with display objects. Date of Production: Late 20th Century (circa 1980s–1990s). The presence of the official modern Italian polygonal star hallmark confirms production occurred after 1968, heavily trending toward the 1980s/1990s. Art Style: Classic/Romantic Figurative Decor.
