Hi,

I've been sent these images by a friend who is hoping to identify the maker of this Italian crucifix:















Any thoughts appreciated.

Trev.

It's just a thought.
It may be the unknown maker's mark of Rodolfo Philippi, Venice, first part of the nineteenth.



I repeat just an exercise in imagination.
Regards
Amena

Hi,
I think Amena is too modest; he has identified the maker. There is a rose and letter F. Cannot be the coincidence.
Cheers

Hi Amena,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I had thought they were letters around the perimeter of the mark, but seeing your illustration, I think you have nailed it.

Is that the date, 1811? Of when he was noted as working?

Trev.

A date with dots means that the silversmith was operating around that date, but there are not certain dates of beginning and end

Thank you Amena. Your input is much appreciated.

Trev.
