About Interi

Interi was created over 19 years ago by former Irish top model, Jean O’Reilly Barlow. Upon leaving the fashion industry, Barlow became inspired by Italian ecclesiastical art and design. She now works to preserve and transform 17-18th century Italian ecclesiastical fragment artifacts into sculptural modern art using artistic methods, natural specimens, and contemporary interpretations. Each fragment is reimagined and adorned with minerals, precious gems, baroque pearls, fossil agate coral, and fossil shells — creating a piece that appears to have evolved together over t...Read More

17th Century 'Florence Fragment' with Fossil Agate Coral, Crystals & Chalcedony
By Interi
Located in Columbia, SC
17th century Italian 'Florence Fragment' mounted with fossil agate coral and adorned with red phantom quartz crystals, and chalcedony rosettes on polished agate base. This fragment is originally from a historical church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. It is part of a very important and rare collection called The Florence Fragment Collection which previously exhibited with Museo de’ Medici in Florence, Italy. This is a collection of historical fragment artifacts found and saved from the infamous Florence flooding of the Arno River in 1966 which was the worst flood the city had faced since the Renaissance. Fossil agate coral is mounted on top of the artifact. Fossil agate coral is Florida's state stone and is known for its unique formation that can take place over 20 million years. It's a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. It is adorned with coordinating red phantom crystals and chalcedony rosettes that resemble the color and texture of the piece. The piece has been naturally distressed from the flood. It has been preserved and transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment is originally 17th century. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...
