Italian Decorative Objects

Headboard with large Brutalist bronze sculpture, model "Aurora" by Frigerio, Italy, 1968. The headboard comprises a large Brutalist sand-cast sculpture, overlaid on an arc of textured lacquered metal, which has a deep gold finish. The piece is in very nice vintage condition. We have left the sculpture unpolished and it has a developed an aged patina, ranging from brown to gold. There are minor losses to the finish of the headboard frame, both the arc and the cross-bars. The sculpture is bolted to the bed frame; it appears it could be unbolted and used separately, though we have not tried to do so. Approximate dimensions: Sculpture W 173 cm x H 49 cm Headboard W 185 cm x H 108 cm Please be aware this listing is for the headboard only. The remaining three sections of the bed surround...

A Vetro Verde glass cat sculpture by Toso et Bagnoli, hand-crafted in the Empoli region of Italy during the 1950s. Executed in rich emerald-green glass, this whimsical feline is among the firm's most celebrated decorative creations and represents the playful innovation of post-war Italian glassmaking. The sculpture is constructed from three individually worked elements, with the arched body incorporating all four legs and decorated with a spiral trail of controlled internal bubbles suspended within the glass. The expressive head and tall upright tail are expertly hot-applied by hand, while the face is completed with applied white and black glass eyes, a small nose and delicate whiskers, demonstrating the skill of the Empoli artisans. During the 1950s, Toso et Bagnoli became renowned for producing imaginative animal sculptures and decorative objects in Vetro Verde, the distinctive emerald-green glass for which the Empoli district became internationally recognised. Their work reflected the optimism and creativity of post-war Italian design and was produced alongside collaborations with some of Italy's leading designers, most notably Gio Ponti. The significance of these whimsical sculptures is reflected by the inclusion of this exact cat model in the permanent collection of the Museo del Vetro di Empoli...
