Lot 528

Lot Description

An early twentieth century silver figure modelled as a penguin, with realistic plumage detail and mounted on an onyx style circular plinth. Hallmarked London 1914. Gross weight not including stand 58.4 grams, height of penguin only 6.2 cm.  

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

The penguin appears in fair overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  It appears to be covered in various darker stains and these have worn away in some small areas.  Also remnants of gilding visible.  The tail appears a little short so is maybe missing the tip?  The hallmarks are clear and legible, there does not appear to be a maker's mark.
