This champagne cover belongs to our collection: work of Art. Indeed, the artist transformed our pure silver 999/°° K-OVER into the United States Capitol. As you can see from the pictures, the upper part of the cover reproduces the dome of the Capitol. The value of the oeuvre is enriched by the chiselled reproduction of the Statue of the Liberty, the symbol of the American freedom. It is then surrounded by the Stars and Strips of the usa flag. In the back, the artist chiselled the withe head eagle.
The cover has been completely handcrafted by Lorenzo Foglia, a Florentine master goldsmith. The production process took several months and the techniques used are overhang and chasing. The core value of the product is given by its artistic perfection. Indeed, the artist worked a single piece of silver and the complexity of the task was increased by the fact that the reverse side is missing. It is also important to underline the great attention in the reproduction of the details, this K-OVER is an unique masterpiece.

Our choice can be explained by three reasons. Firstly, we want to provide a high valuable product to our customers. Secondly, pure silver is hard to oxidise, so that it is easier to be cleaned. Last but not least, silver has an antibacterial property which make it safe.
