Vintage sculpture with a naturalistic feel and surprisingly realistic detail, depicting a life size snail, handcrafted in italy between the 1960s and 1970s in genuine solid silver.
a solid, highly tactile piece with full volumes and a three dimensional presence that immediately catches the eye. The shell is clearly defined, and the snail’s body is modelled with natural proportions, creating a decorative object that feels almost lifelike, yet carries all the charm of vintage italian silver.
never seen on solo-argento.
an ideal piece for collectors of naturalistic miniatures, for lovers of unusual subjects, or for anyone looking for a vintage italian sculpture with strong personality and genuine weight.
