This vintage miniature is made in genuine Continental Silver and is hallmarked 800 which stands for Continental Silver (800/000), together with traces of the Italian silversmith code. The sculpting is compact yet powerful, with a strong “chunky” presence that instantly communicates weight, quality and old school Italian craftsmanship.

Despite its small size, the elephant has a surprisingly bold silhouette and detailed modeling, making it a serious collectible rather than a light decorative trinket. A rare solid design, perfect for collectors who appreciate miniature animal silverwork from the golden mid century period.
