Mexican 20th century silver-plated shark sculpture by Enrique Jolly
Mexican, 20th Century
Height 19cm, width 57cm, depth 25cm
This silver-plated sculpture by Mexican artist Enrique Jolly (1932-2000) offers a refined and minimalist representation of a shark. Rather than focusing on lifelike details or textures, Jolly emphasizes the shark’s essence through its sleek, streamlined form and dynamic stance. The polished surface heightens the visual effect, with light and reflections accentuating the smooth curves and elegant silhouette of the creature.
Signed with the maker's mark 'Jolly', this sculpture embodies Jolly’s signature style—clean lines and simplified shapes that prioritize overall form over intricate detailing.
Renowned for his contemporary sculptures featuring stylized animal motifs, Enrique Jolly is celebrated for his modernist approach, with a strong emphasis on minimalism. The artist won several awards and worked in collaboration with fellow influential Mexican sculptors like Don Luis Albarran y Pliego (1893-1967).
This striking shark sculpture exemplifies Mexican artistry and design, making it a sophisticated addition to any interior.

Large German early 20th century silver and vermeil nef
German, Early 20th Century
Height 80cm, width 70cm, depth 19cm
This impressive sculpture of a nef was crafted by skilled German craftsmen in the early 20th century. Historically nefs were used to store spices and cutler on a dining table, but as their designs became more elaborate, they became purely decorative.
The hull of the piece is intricately cast with high relief depictions of cherubs, sea creatures, scrolls, and waves among many others. Various coats of arms are cast and engraved on the nef. The deck is filled with delicate vermeil figures undertaking various tasks. The wheels as well as the bow are gilt creating a superb contrast between the several tones of metals.
