Emanuele Pantanella Wooden Picture Frame, Italy 1980s

About the Item

Emanuele Pantanella (1939-2014), Italy, designed this sumptuous picture photo frame. Solid tropical wood with a high gloss polished finish in a minimalist geometric shape. Emanuele Pantanella designs are modern-day Objects of Vertu, an extreme luxury combined with pared-down simplicity inspired by Pantanella’s Mediterranean heritage. Pantanella lived and worked in Rome and used natural materials that have delighted his compatriots for centuries: wood, marble, and precious and semi-precious stones. The frame is stamped at the back with the designer studio stamp and marked: Made in Italy. Measurements: Overall: 10.63 in wide (27 cm) x 11 in high (28 cm) x 4.32 in deep (11 cm). Opening (picture size): 5.5 in diameter (14 cm). Note: Photo reproduction of movie star included with the frame as a placeholder until you add your photograph. About the designer: Emanuele Pantanella (1939-2014) was a Roman artist who remained one of Italy’s best-kept secrets despite his works and creations being present in some of the most prestigious private collections and museums worldwide. Born into a family of grain-producing industrialists, he studied political science and worked in the family business. He studied outside office hours, following the evolution of Italian design and experimenting with carving precious wood and making luxury objects. When he retired, he devoted himself to what he most loved and established his design studio near Piazza Navona in Rome. Cosmopolitan and bon vivant, he traveled worldwide and particularly admired ancient Greek and Cycladic civilizations. (the last picture shows the designer at his desk with some of his creations).
