Buccellati Highlights
On view through November 8, 2009

A selection of works from the world-famous collection of Buccellati silver animals designed and fabricated in Italy by the luxury jewelry firm House of Buccellati.

The Huntsville Museum of Art is home of the world’s largest collection of Buccellati silver animals thanks to the generous donation and extraordinary vision of Mrs. Betty Grisham of Huntsville. These signature silver animals replicate creatures from earth, sea, and sky in a highly realistic manner that captures details such as feathers and hair in the fine detail and exquisite workmanship of silver.
