Description

This ornate, elegant silver rope really stands out amongst the Freiberg's I have seen as particularly aesthetic for the size and shape.

It is an older specimen, traded from the Alex Franz collection, and quite distinct in form and appearance in person from the multitude of more spindly-looking "contemporary" silvers from Freiberg which have appeared on the market recently.

The patina is old and uncleaned by modern chemicals, truly antique in appearance.
