About the Item

Set Eight Italian Miniature Silver Gilt Malachite Musical Instrument Figures Italian, 20th Century Largest (guitar): Height 6.5cm, diameter 3.3cm A delightful example of Italian craftsmanship, this miniature set of eight musical instruments showcases meticulous artistry and luxurious materials. Crafted in silver with refined gilt accents, each piece - from the graceful harp to the elegant guitar - is rendered with remarkable attention to detail. The collection is arranged atop a circular base carved from richly patterned malachite, elevated by a gilded silver (vermeil) plinth that enhances its decorative appeal. Together, the contrasting textures of polished silver, green malachite, and gold-toned highlights create a visually striking display. The underside of the base bears the hallmark '800', indicating the silver's grade, along with '1125 MI', denoting the maker and origin in Milan. Whether displayed as a centrepiece or added to a collection, this exquisite miniature set is a perfect gift for music aficionados and decorative arts collectors.
