About the Item

18th century Italian "Florence Fragment" vase adorned with calcite crystals and mounted with calcite crystals in a zinc matrix. The calcite crystals are from the famous Elmwood Mine in Tennessee. It is an example of the world's finest crystallized calcite. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966. 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 dressed and mounted with calcite crystals on a zinc matrix to appear as if it evolved together over time. 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 streets of Italy, to an Italian palazzo where they were collected, to the Interi studio, to now the modern home or gallery.
