Square box in 925/1000 sterling silver gold plated with translucent fired enamel on guillochè also on the sides. In the center, a beautiful hand painted tempera miniature on a vegetable ivory plate depicting the portrait of a 19th century lady, signed by the painter Anna Maria Manfriani. Dimensions cm. 12 x 12 x 2.5. Weight gr. 618. Designed by Franco Salimbeni in 1976 and manufactured in Florence in some specimens with various subjects and different colors, in the headquarters of the Salimbeni Company with completely manual execution by artisan artists with thick slab and large reinforcements suitable for withstanding numerous enamelled firings at about 800° C. Miniature is a very ancient technique which consists of painting works in small proportions. It was born for the decoration of the first letter of the paragraph of the books. Over the years, however, this technique is refined and enriched, then moving on to precious personal items. Hand painted miniatures can be done with multiple different techniques. The most important that we use on our articles are of three kinds: 1) Fire enamel. 2) Water tempera on an ivory plate. 3) Painted on mother-of-pearl. 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 colors which are as many colored crystals, ground and reduced to a very fine, almost impalpable powder washed and purified in distilled water with the addition of small quantities of deoxidizing acids which, diluted with essential oils (usually essential oil of solder), can be mixed to form a palette of colors. With very fine sable hair brushes you draw the subject starting from the perimeter and then gradually adding various layers of color. It is necessary to carry out various firings very often so that the colors harden and are not absorbed by the underlying glaze as, during the subsequent firings at 750 ° C, during liquefaction, it would spread irremediably. Hence the need to form the painting a little at a time, cooking it numerous times. Therefore it is necessary to proceed with numerous retouching, often overlapping different colors that only the painter's experience knows. A beautiful miniature needs from 20 to over 50 firings and is finished when the painter deems he does not have to further intervene. Some colors must have darker tones than others because then, by superimposing the transparent enamel placed at the end of the miniature, they fade. This transparent layer, called “fondant” in jargon, must be smoothed and polished like all other translucent enamel colors. The miniatures with water tempera colors are painted on real ivory...

Signed Zimbabwean Stone Sculpture, Abstract Modernist Form, 20th Century Height: 28 cm Width: 18 cm Material: Solid hand-carved stone Origin: Zimbabwe, Southern Africa Artist: Signed TAF KDZHIA, numbered 250 Date: 20th Century This striking African stone sculpture is a powerful example of 20th-century Zimbabwean Shona-inspired modernist carving, signed TAF KDZHIA and numbered 250. Hand-carved from a single block of solid stone, the sculpture presents a highly stylized abstract human form, characterized by flowing contours, rhythmic balance, and a serene, introspective presence. The composition demonstrates a refined mastery of form and negative space, with softly rounded planes contrasted by sharply incised linear details. The gently tilted head and simplified facial features evoke calm, contemplation, and spiritual depth—hallmarks of Zimbabwean contemporary stone sculpture. The natural stone displays a richly varied surface with organic green, grey, ochre, and earthy inclusions, enhancing both its tactile appeal and sculptural integrity. The polished finish highlights the stone’s natural veining while preserving subtle tool marks, underscoring the hand-carved nature of the work. Signed and numbered at the base, this piece reflects the growing international recognition of African modernist stone artists during the late 20th century, particularly those associated with Zimbabwe’s renowned sculpture movement. Ideal as a collector’s sculpture, gallery display piece, or architectural interior accent, this work bridges traditional African carving traditions with modern abstraction. It integrates effortlessly into contemporary, minimalist, and curated ethnographic interiors, offering both cultural significance and sculptural sophistication. Condition In very good condition overall, with natural surface variations inherent to the stone and the artist’s carving process. No structural damage observed. Please refer to images for detailed condition. Zimbabwean stone sculpture • African...

Signed African Stone Sculpture by Morning Chijumani, Zimbabwe, 20th Century Height: 24 cm Width: 13 cm Material: Carved stone Signature: MORNING CHIJUMANI Origin: Zimbabwe, Southern Africa Date: 20th century This powerful and contemplative African stone sculpture is a signed work by Morning Chijumani, a Zimbabwean sculptor associated with the modern Shona stone carving tradition. Hand-carved from dense, richly veined green stone, the sculpture presents a highly stylised abstracted human form, characterised by smooth, flowing planes and a deeply introspective presence. The composition reveals Chijumani’s refined sculptural language, balancing modernist abstraction with traditional African figural expression. The gently curved facial features, elongated forms, and rhythmic geometry convey a sense of inner calm, spiritual reflection, and emotional depth – hallmarks of Zimbabwean stone sculpture from the mid- to late 20th century. The stone itself displays natural tonal variations ranging from deep forest green to earthy ochre inclusions, enhancing the tactile and visual richness of the piece. The surface is finely polished, accentuating the organic contours while preserving subtle tool marks that testify to its hand-carved origin. The sculpture is signed at the base, confirming authorship and authenticity. Reportedly acquired in Zimbabwe, this work stands as both a collectible sculptural artwork and a striking decorative object. It is ideally suited for display in a curated interior, modern living space, collector’s cabinet, or alongside other ethnographic, tribal, or contemporary African artworks.
