About the Item
18th century Italian "Florence Fragment" candlestick base mounted with a fishtail selenite and decorated with chalcedony rosettes and ecphora shells.
This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. It is part of the The Florence Fragment Collection which is exhibiting with Museo de’ Medici this fall. This is a collection of historical fragment artifacts saved from the infamous Florence flooding of the Arno River in 1966 which was the worst flood the city had faced since the Renaissance.
There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftsmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The fragment has been preserved and transformed with the selenite and shells to create a sculptural work of art.
The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the fragment is originally 18th century.
The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments, in particular, are very interesting. 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 flood, to the Italian store house, collected by the Interi studio, shown in the museum, and now can be purchased for the modern home or gallery.
