18th Century Italian Fragment with Chalcopyrite, Calcite Crystals, and Kyanite

About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian fragment with chalcopyrite on a druzy crystal matrix with calcite crystals and gold-plate kyanite. This fragment was originally part of a candlestick from a church in Italy. It is distressed from time but still has the original mecca gold leaf on aspects of the piece which coordinates with the chalcopyrite crystals. The natural-forming chalcopyrite beautifully contrasts with the grey druzy crystal matrix. The fragment artifact has been preserved and transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment is originally 18th century. Together, the elements create a contemporary, yet historically significant sculptural work of organic and old.
