Vintage Peltro Argentato 999 Made in Italy Singing Monk / Friar Figurines – Set of 6
Wonderful matching collection of six vintage Italian singing monk/friar figurines, each depicted in a different expressive singing or chanting pose.
All six retain their original underside labels marked “Peltro Argentato 999 – Made in Italy.” Peltro is the Italian term for pewter, while Argentato denotes a silvered/silver-plated finish. These are being described as silvered pewter and are not being represented as solid .999 silver.
The six figures form a charming monastic choir-style group, with exaggerated expressive faces and open mouths. Individual poses include friars holding their hands or objects at their chests, gesturing while singing, standing with arms folded/tucked into their sleeves, and holding their hands against the sides of the head/ears.
Details:
• Complete group of 6 coordinating singing monk/friar figurines
• Peltro Argentato 999 / silvered pewter
• Made in Italy
• All 6 retain matching original underside labels
• Heavy solid-feeling cast construction
• Six different poses/sculpts
• Wonderful vintage Italian religious/monastic collectible
Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related patina, tarnishing/oxidation, surface scratches, rubbing and finish wear consistent with age and display. Darkened recessed areas accentuate the sculpted details. Please examine all photographs closely for exact cosmetic condition. No obvious major breaks or missing portions were observed.
These have not been aggressively polished, preserving their vintage finish and patina.
A particularly appealing group when displayed together as a six-member singing friar/monk choir. Comparable Peltro Argentato singing monks are often found individually, making a coordinated group of six with all six original labels especially desirable for a collector.
You will receive all six figurines pictured.
Each figure will be individually wrapped and carefully packed for shipment.
