An exceptional life-size sterling silver football with a gently hammered surface and skilfully detailed lacing. The ball is very tactile and we have made a bespoke ebonised stand so it can easily be removed and handled.
The silver marks include Minerva wearing a Greek helmet, indicating the Netherlands from 1906 onwards and a date letter 'M' for the year 1947. The Lion stamp indicates the quality of the silver as 925 sterling.
A rare and memorable piece of silver.
Dimensions: 21.7cm/8½ inches (diameter) x 43cm/17 inches (height on stand).
