Franklin Mint Henry Moore Woman Knitting Sterling Silver Etching

  
Franklin Mint Henry Moore Woman Knitting Sterling Silver Etching A limited edition etched portrait of a woman knitting, rendered on a solid sterling silver plate. In the 1970s, the Franklin Mint commissioned world-renowned British sculptor Henry Moore to create a series of drawings specifically to be etched into sterling silver.

Moore, primarily known for his monumental semi-abstract bronze sculptures, focused this series on domestic, intimate subjects. Each piece was released in a limited edition and mounted on a wooden plaque, bridging the gap between fine art and high-end collectible commemoratives popular during the mid-to-late 20th century. The silver plate appears bright with minimal tarnishing and the original wooden mount is intact, though there is minor wear to the outer gold-tone frame edges.
