Born under the hammer of the goldsmiths at the Raspini house in Arezzo, this delightful vintage figurine in
800 sterling silver brings to life an old man playing boules. Crafted over the years
1970/1980, it reflects the unparalleled talent of Italian masters to transform a popular scene into a miniature masterpiece of goldsmithing.
The sculpture's exquisite detail perfectly captures the player's deliberate gesture and the benevolent features of his
face. In Italy, the game of bocce brings hearts together and symbolizes sharing, the wisdom of the elders and the warm atmosphere of summer afternoons on Tuscan piazzas.
Exceptional and expressive, this collector's item is an emotionally charged gift for a pétanque player, an Italy enthusiast, or a connoisseur of Raspini silverware.
