This astonishingly lifelike Maltese is one of two created by the master artisans of Piutrè Italy. A full-size studio model, it's built around a steel frame for realism and stability. The synthetic, soft-to-the-touch plush is true to life, accurately replicating the characteristically long and silky coat of the breed. Each piece is hand-trimmed and hand-finished for an exceptional degree of realism. The tag on this Maltese, individually signed by a member of the Angeli family, is your hallmark of the uncompromising artistry and craftsmanship that go into the making of each Piutrè animal.
