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.
