About the Item

Hand-Forged Life-Size Sunflower Sculpture by Italian Hammersmith - Indoor & Outdoor Art Description: Bring the warmth and poetry of nature into your space with this exquisite life-size sunflower sculpture, masterfully handcrafted by a renowned Italian hammersmith. Designed for both indoor and outdoor settings, this piece radiates elegance, charm, and artisanal excellence. Each sunflower is forged by hand using traditional techniques passed down through generations, embodying the essence of Italian craftsmanship. The delicate curvature of the petals, the intricate texture of the center, and the organic lines of the stem all contribute to a sculpture that feels alive with movement and emotion. Whether placed in a garden, terrace, entrance hall, or contemporary living space, this sculpture becomes an immediate focal point-inviting conversation, admiration, and a deeper appreciation for handmade artistry. Details: Origin: Italy Material: Hand-forged iron Finish: Natural patina suitable for outdoor use (custom finishes available on request) Dimensions: Life-size scale Condition: New, Suitable for: Indoor or outdoor display Style: Organic, botanical, timeless Celebrate the beauty of nature through the hands of an Italian master. A truly unique and timeless piece for collectors of fine art and lovers of bespoke design. Based in Caldes (Trentino, Italy), Zanoni is heir to a family tradition of blacksmithing passed down from his father, Luciano Zanoni, who famously forged a monumental four-meter olive tree sculpture for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle. In 2024, Ivan Zanoni was honored with a major solo exhibition at Mart - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto, Italy's leading contemporary art institution. Deeply inspired by the natural world, Zanoni's artistic language centers on botanical forms, animal anatomies, and organic movement, reimagined in iron with a poetic, almost mythological reverence. His works have been exhibited in Italy, France, and Greece, and are especially sought after by collectors in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.u2028Private commissions available upon request.

Grave stone naturalistic cross wrought iron outdoor sculpture, gold bee
By Ivan Zanoni
Located in Milan, IT
Calvary naturalistic tree. Unique piece, not replicable. Hand-forged in wrought iron by the outstanding Italian sculptor Ivan Zanoni. This sculpture in the form of a Cross is animated by natural elements and insects and is one of the most striking examples of the liveliness and singularity with which Ivan Zanoni knows how to forge iron and mould it according to his own sensitivity. The Cross was the sculptural work chosen to welcome visitors to the 2024 solo exhibition that the prestigious Mart Museum in Rovereto - one of Italy's leading institutions for contemporary art - has dedicated to him. Renowned for his wrought iron creations, Ivan Zanoni is internationally recognised as one of today's most significant iron sculptors. His mastery of the medium lends an organic vitality to the metal, particularly in his evocative depictions of plants and animals. Born and living in Caldes (Trentino, Italy), Zanoni inherited his passion and skill from his father, Luciano Zanoni. A revered craftsman, Zanoni created a four-metre monumental olive tree sculpture...
