Rare vintage miniature depicting a Sammontana ice cream cart on a bicycle, handcrafted in Italy between the 1970s and 1980s in genuine silver.
An exceptional object, commissioned by the historic Italian company Sammontana Gelati, most likely as a celebratory or promotional item. The scene is immediately recognizable and highly evocative, featuring the classic ice cream cart mounted on a bicycle, a true symbol of the Italian summer and collective memory.
The workmanship is careful and solid, with a well balanced composition and a detailed rendering despite the complexity of the subject. The dimensions are substantial for the category, and the weight confirms a solid, non hollow construction.
An extremely rare piece, ideal for collectors of figurative silver, Italian advertising memorabilia, or the history of food related design.
Never seen on Solo-Argento.
