About the Item

Pair of 18th century Italian gold-leaf fragment horse head sculptures. The pair is made of 18th century Italian water-gilt fragments mounted on scroll wood bases. The fragments come from historic churches, buildings, and pieces from Tuscany. The shape and movement of the pieces perfectly coordinate with the parts of horses' heads to capture the illusion of the figurative shapes. The left horse head has a blue eye and the right horse has a red eye made from glass. The piece is put together by Filippo Gherardi, an Italian artist and restorer from Livorno. The date of manufacture reflects when he created the piece and the period shows that the fragments that make up the pair are originally 18th century. The Italian 18th century fragment horse heads are a unique and extremely rare pair created by a master Italian restorer and artist. The pair is a contemporary interpretation of the historically significant pieces - creating a whimsical and dynamic duo through Rococo-Modern design.

18th Century Italian 'Florence Fragment' with a Chalcedony Rosette

By Interi

Located in Dublin, Dalkey

17th century Italian fragment with a chalcedony rosette. It has antique hand-written Italian inscriptions on the base. The chalcedony mineral mimics the color and texture of the distressed wood fragment. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. This was one of the worst floods recorded since the Renaissance and drew thousands of volunteers from all over the world to help save the city known for its precious history, artwork, artifacts, and rare books. The volunteers were called "the mud angels" because of the mud and silt left everything from the damage of the flood. There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...
