Buyer's Premium:

A pair of decorative clear art glass apples, attributed to Silvestri and dating from the mid-to-late 20th century.

The apples are fitted with cast metal stems and single leaves, which have a textured surface and a brass-toned gilt finish with a natural aged patina. The set includes one slightly elongated ovoid apple and one smaller, more spherical example. No manufacturer labels, signatures, or marks are visible on either piece.
