Sculptural 17-18th Century Italian Vase with Agate Coral and Fossil Shells
$1,550

About
17th or 18th century Italian fragment vase with agate coral, zig zag oyster fossil arms, fossil shells, and a baroque pearl on a polished petrified wood base.
This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966.
The piece has been naturally distressed from the flood. It has been preserved and transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the creative director of Interi. The fragment artifact is mounted with fossil agate coral and adorned with fossil shells and a baroque pearl. The zig zag oyster fossils act as arms on the fragment vase.
The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments, in particular, are very interesting. These fragments have been used for artists and designers alike to copy for the distressed aesthetic, but here is an original. While many fragments are distressed due to age, these Florence fragments in particular stand apart. They symbolize a history that has been carried through the streets of Italy, to an Italian palazzo where they were collected, to the Interi studio, to now the modern home or gallery.
