About the Item

This silver-plated centerpiece, made by Franco Lapini in Florence in the 1960s, is an elegant example of decorative design of the period. The centerpiece depicts an artichoke with detailed leaves, a natural subject that was popular in ornamental designs of the period. The centerpiece shows a style that combines realism with an artistic touch, typical of the 1960s. Attention to detail in the leaves and structure of the artichoke highlights craftsmanship that reflects both naturalism and modern sophistication. Originally created as a centerpiece, this piece was intended to be a prominent feature in a dining room or living room. Its commanding presence and precious material make it ideal for formal dinners and special occasions, where it serves as both decoration and a marker of prestige. The shape of the centerpiece is that of an artichoke with wide, detailed leaves expanding around the central body. The artichoke itself is reproduced with great attention to detail, with the scales arranged realistically. Leaves extending outward add a dynamic dimension to the piece. Franco Lapini is a renowned Italian designer known for his work in silver and precious metals. His atelier in Florence is famous for producing decorative objects that combine traditional craftsmanship and innovative design. The 1960s was a time of great creativity for Lapini, during which his atelier produced pieces that reflected a modern sensibility while maintaining a high quality of craftsmanship. This centerpiece not only serves as a decoration, but is also an example of Lapini's artistry and his ability to transform everyday objects into works of art.
