A vintage miniature depicting a racehorse with jockey, handcrafted in 800/000 silver in Italy between the 1980s and 1990s, representing the renowned silversmith tradition of Arezzo applied to finely detailed figurative miniatures. Arezzo, one of Tuscany’s historic centres of jewellery and silver production, has long been recognised for the precision, quality, and artistry of its handcrafted silver creations.
The scene portrays a horse in motion with the jockey captured in racing position, forming a dynamic and well balanced composition. The proportions are carefully executed and, despite the miniature scale, the details successfully convey the speed, energy, and excitement associated with the world of horse racing. The overall result is both elegant and lively, with strong visual movement throughout the piece.
The hallmark includes the 800 silver standard, indicating second standard silver, together with the Italian silversmith code confirming its artisanal production. The workmanship is attributable to Arezzo, one of the historic capitals of Italian silver craftsmanship.
An excellent choice for collectors of silver miniatures, horse racing enthusiasts, or anyone searching for a decorative object rich in movement, character, and sporting charm.
