About the Item
Italian Sterling Silver and Polished Agate Fish Sculpture, Hallmarked, 1970s
6" W x 4" H x 1" D
Charming and sculptural, this mid-20th century Italian fish-form objet d’art combines richly textured cast sterling silver with a vibrant polished agate geode slice. The body of the fish is formed from a natural banded Brazilian agate, beautifully polished to reveal concentric amber, cream, and caramel tones surrounding a translucent quartz druzy center.
The silverwork is highly detailed and expressive, with stylized fins, tail, and facial elements evoking biomorphic movement—reminiscent of a whimsical lionfish or angelfish. The flowing, textured design and abstracted form reflect both mid-century and studio-craft influences. The fish stands upright on integrated silver “fins,” making it a freestanding sculptural accent.
The piece is fully hallmarked, bearing Italian silver marks including:
925 for sterling purity
A lozenge maker’s mark typical of post-1968 Italian silver, likely indicating the maker and region of registration
Signed and beautifully crafted, this is a refined example of Italian decorative silver merging natural mineral specimens with expressive design. Ideal for collectors of mid-century Italian silver, mineral sculpture, or nature-inspired modernist objects.
