Vintage miniature depicting an Italian chef holding a chicken, handcrafted in Italy between the 1980s and 1990s in genuine 800 silver.
A rare and highly narrative subject, celebrating Italian culinary tradition with irony and character. The chef figure embodies passion for cooking, love for raw ingredients, and artisanal skill, all expressed in a lively and immediately readable composition. The presence of the chicken reinforces the storytelling quality of the piece, making it more than a simple figurine.
The miniature is solid and well balanced, with proportions carefully studied for its scale. The 800 hallmark and the Italian silversmith’s code confirm its authenticity and artisanal origin. A model never seen before on Solo-Argento, ideal for collectors seeking uncommon and characterful Italian silver miniatures.
Never seen on Solo-Argento.
