About the Item

This small painted wooden box is an iconic piece by the renowned Italian artist and designer Piero Fornasetti. Created in the 1950s, it reflects Fornasetti's unique style, blending traditional craftsmanship with elements of surrealism and humor.  The box is titled "Trofeo Selvaggina" or, Game Trophy, reflected in the hunting icons on the cover. The box, with its delicate execution, features a design that evokes the artist’s fascination with the natural world and the fantastical—central themes in his work. Originating from Italy, this piece is not just a functional object, but a testament to Fornasetti's ability to transform the everyday into art.
