Arde Argenti - Figurine - Apple and Fruit Basket Set (2) - 925 silver laminated

Beautiful vintage Italian decorative set consisting of a silver-laminated apple and a detailed fruit basket figurine by Laminato AG (associated with Arde / Ardè Argentieri). Crafted using the classic Italian “Laminato AG” technique: a thick layer of 925-quality silver over a solid core, giving the pieces substantial weight and a highly reflective, luminous finish typical of quality Italian silverware from the late 20th century. Details: Apple: 140 g – approx. 6 × 5.5 × 4.5 cm Restoration project, good vintage condition with natural wear. Fruit basket: 143 g – approx. 9 × 7.5 × 4.5 cm, very good vintage condition with light wear. Total weight of set: 283 g Production period: circa 1970s–1990s (Italy). These charming fruit-themed sculptures make elegant display pieces, paperweights or additions to a collection of Italian silver-laminated figurines. The set comes with the original handwritten restoration/project note. Condition: The Fruit Basket has a very good vintage condition with attractive shine and light age-related patina. The apple has natural vintage wear and a small defect but still beautiful to display - see photos. Our Terms: Packing & Shipping: All items are inspected, photographed, and securely packed.
