Description: This unique vintage piece of art is a stunning plate dish wall sculpture that is handmade and crafted with the utmost care. The intricate design features beautiful copper in verdigris green shades and enamel work, as well as sterling silver accents, making it a true masterpiece. Hailing from Peru, this piece embodies the rich culture and craftsmanship of the region, with its precise attention to detail and exquisite beauty. The size is approximately 4-5/8" (12.5 cm) x 3" (7.62 cm). Exquisite piece of Latin American or Peruvian art. I believe it is from the artist Graziella Laffi. Born in Florence, Laffi studied drawing, painting, and architecture before turning her attention to silversmithing. In 1947, following the throes of World War II, she immigrated with her parents to Peru. Soon after arriving in Lima, her father, Gino Laffi, began exhibiting his work at the Centro Italiano, Lima, and not long after in 1953 he opened a small workshop (Casa Laffi), where he produced silverwork influenced by contemporary Italian tastes. Although Graziella’s work differs markedly from that of her father (much of which was geared to the tourist market), it was at his workshop that she developed her remarkable skills as a silversmith. My grandmother (b 1902) collected this while traveling the world. This came from my mother's estate in Chevy Chase, MD. She collected wonderful antiques and vintages pieces throughout her life. She had an assortment of red depression glass objects, Crystal pieces and various items from her extensive travels around the world and time living in London so look for more in my shop in the coming weeks. All items listed in this store are preowned and will have some signs of wear. Please review each picture carefully. I am trying to go through all my mom's treasures and cannot accept returns.
