Jewelry box inward corners miniature hand painted Sterling Silver Salimbeni

In the center, a beautiful rectangular miniature cm. 4 x 5.5 hand painted in tempera on vegetable ivory plate by Roberto Masi depicting the portrait of Madame Boucard by Tamara De Lempicka (1931). Size cm. 14 x 19 x 3.2. Weight gr. 1,248. Designed by Giorgio Salimbeni in 1998 and manufactured in Florence in various specimens with different subjects and colours, in the headquarters of the Salimbeni company with completely manual execution by artisan artists with thick slab and large reinforcements suitable for withstanding numerous glazing firings at high heat about 800°C.

Fire enameled miniatures: On a first layer of enamel generally white or very clear or even transparent suitably liquefied at a temperature of about 750 ° C, the chosen subject is painted using miniature...
