SOLD
I am not normally one for sheet silvers, but WHAT a specimen!? This piece, which weighs nearly a kilo, features a spreading sail of leaf silver that measures approximately 15 x 12 cm, perched atop an amazingly well-trimmed matrix. It is anchored solidly to the matrix, by the way, and is not fragile at all. The silver leaf is much more elegant in person, and shows off purple and blue color highlights due to a microscopic bornite coating. I normally dismiss these as inconsequential when I see them small and loose occasionally, I freely admit; but this one is special. BETTER In PERSON! 22 x 7 x 4.6 cm
