From the world-famous and historic mines at Brand-Erbisdorf near Freiberg in Saxony, Germany, three handsome and graceful wire Native Silver specimens, mounted on an antique ivory cylindrical plinth with an affixed old label. This specimen, along with its mount, exudes an antique charm and presents three very fine Native Silver specimens of respective lengths 4.7, 4.5 and 3.0 cm tall. Each of the three individual specimens begin as gnarled-ropey Silver at their bases and gradually taper to fine wires at their apex with twists and ram's horn curls in between! A choice set of three Freiberg Native Silvers with exquisite wire structure and of whitish-silver to silver-grey, with a pale blushed bronze patina in parts. Choice.
