17th Century 'Florence Fragment' with Fossil Agate Coral, Crystals & Chalcedony
By Interi
Located in Dublin, Dalkey
17th Century Italian church vase decorated with fossil agate coral, red phantom quartz crystals, and chalcedony rosettes on polished agate base. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966. Fossil agate coral is mounted on top of the artifact. Fossil agate coral is Florida's state stone and is known for its unique formation that can take place over 20 million years. It's a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. It is adorned with coordinating red phantom crystals and chalcedony rosettes that resemble the color and texture of the piece. 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 date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment is originally 17th century. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...

17th Century Italian 'Florence Fragment' Vase with Crystal Quartz Clusters
By Interi
Located in Dublin, Dalkey
17th century Italian vase with a crystal quartz cluster on a crystal quartz cluster base. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. This was one of the worst floods recorded since the Renaissance and drew thousands of volunteers from all over the world to help save the city known for its precious history, artwork, artifacts, and rare books. The volunteers were called "the mud angels" because of the mud and silt left everything from the damage of the flood. There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftsmanship, and history of fragment. The crystal quartz clusters are applied to the piece to create a sculptural work. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...

17th Century Italian Fragments 'Group of Three' with Calcite Crystals on Bobeche
By Interi
Located in Dublin, Dalkey
17th Century Italian fragments 'group of three' with a calcite crystals in matrix mounted on Italian glass bobeche bases. These fragments are from a church in Florence. They were found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966. The pieces have been naturally distressed from the flood. The silt from the flood is still on the pieces. They have been preserved and transformed by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the pieces and the period shows that the Italian fragments are originally 17th century. The calcite mounted on top comes from Elmwood Mine in Tennessee. It is an example of the world's finest crystallized calcite. It is unequaled by those from any other part of the world (referenced from the "American Mineral Treasure" book, pg. 337). The mineral includes the matrix that the calcite crystals naturally grew out of. The pieces are then mounted onto antique bobeche...
