2oz. Vintage Italian Handmade Genuine Silver Brandimarte Premium Italian Silversmith Florentine Angel with Fife Bell made in Florence

This Italian silver table bell is sculptural in form, modeled as an angel in traditional Florentine attire holding a fife. Manufactured by the renowned workshop Brandimarte in Florence during the late twentieth century, the piece functions beautifully as both a seasonal or year-round cabinet miniature and a practical call bell, featuring an interior clapper that emits a clear and resonant tone.

The figure demonstrates the expressive, textured metalwork for which Brandimarte became celebrated, showing flowing details along the angel’s robes and wings. Chased from 800 continental silver, the structural density of the metal provides a solid, weighted quality that enhances the acoustics of the bell when struck.

The Brandimarte firm, established in Florence in 1955, is highly regarded for reviving historical Renaissance hollowware and figurative art forms, making this a highly collectible token of Tuscan silversmithing heritage.
