Description

Attention! This is a little unusual offer. This silver sheet was found at the excavation site of the Oberhütte smelter which is dated around 1540. It is residual melted silver which ran into cracks between the fireclay (you still can see pieces of the bricks attached to the sheet). The interesting thing is: the surface of the sheets 're-crystallized' again. So, as everything created by humans will be taken back by nature this is kind of 're-naturized' silver.
So you get an antique with a little 'new' nature on it.
