About the Item

18th century Italian gold leaf sunray mounted on pyrophyllite with titanium quartz. The 18th century gold leaf sunray was once a halo motif as part of an artistic depiction of a religious figure or crucifix in a historic Italian church. The sculptural work is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the sunray is originally 18th century. The piece has been combined with the pyrophyllite and titanium to create a contemporary work of old and new.
