Est. $40,000-$45,000 Prince Lorenzo de' Medici Solid Sterling Silver on Marble & Wood Base Medici Venetian Nymph Stamp W/Medici Seal in the Style of Benvenuto Cellini (One of a Kind) - This special piece is a solid sterling silver Medici Venetian Nymph stamp, with the seal of Prince Lorenzo de' Medici. This is a custom made, one of a kind piece which was designed in the style of important Italian goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini and his work "Nymphe de Fontainebleau", made in 1542 on behalf of King Francis I. The stamp is of Prince Lorenzo's royal Medici Seal, as he had this piece custom made to use on his official letters. This piece was made by Irina Karpova, who is a Russian architect and artist-jeweler, full Cavalier of the Carl Faberge International Memorial Foundation and is a holder of two Orders of the Carl Faberge International Memorial Foundation. This beautiful work of art measures 8" high and rests on a 9" round marble and wood base. This is not only a one of a kind piece of Royal Family history, but also a stunning work of art.
