18th Century Italian Fragment with Baroque Pearls on Optical Calcite

About the Item

18th century Italian fragment adorned with baroque pearls and mounted on a optical calcite base. The fragment originally came from a historical church in Italy. It is adorned with natural-forming baroque pearls. 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 Italian fragment is originally 18th century. The Italian church artifact and polished optical calcite are put together in a sculptural form - creating an organic and historic work of art.
