A stunning vintage CHRISTOFLE small sparrow figurine from the Lumiere D'Argent Collection. Made in the Saint-Denis factory between 1987 and 1994, it is designed and executed beautifully in openwork silverplate with black onyx eyes. A real collectors item. The sparrow is in great condition - very minor tarnishing (hard to notice). Makers mark to base of the tail 'Christofle France'. Height 6cm and approx. 7cm wide (including tail). Just beautiful....
