Oval rounded "soap" shaped snuff box in 925/1000 sterling silver with fired enamels above and below and hand-painted miniature of a horse's head, English "Art Nouveau" style, early 1900s. Measurements cm. 4.7 x 6.7 x 2. Weight gr. 96. Designed by Franco Salimbeni in 1980 and manufactured in Florence in the headquarters of the Salimbeni company with completely manual execution by artisan artists with thick slab and large reinforcements suitable for withstanding numerous enamelled firings at high heat at about 800° C. Miniature is a very ancient technique which consists of painting works in small proportions. It was born for the decoration of the first letter of the paragraph of the books. Over the years, however, this technique is refined and enriched, then moving on to precious personal items. Hand-painted miniatures can be done with multiple different techniques. The most important that we use on our articles are of three kinds: 1) Fire enamel. 2) Water tempera on an ivory plate. 3) Painted on mother-of-pearl. Fire enameled miniatures: On a first layer of enamel generally white or very clear or even transparent suitably liquefied at a temperature of about 750 ° C, the chosen subject is painted using miniature colors which are as many colored crystals, ground and reduced to a very fine, almost impalpable powder washed and purified in distilled water with the addition of small quantities of deoxidizing acids which, diluted with essential oils (usually essential oil of solder), can be mixed to form a palette of colors. With very fine sable hair brushes you draw the subject starting from the perimeter and then gradually adding various layers of color. It is necessary to carry out various firings very often so that the colors harden and are not absorbed by the underlying glaze as, during the subsequent firings at 750 ° C, during liquefaction, it would spread irremediably. Hence the need to form the painting a little at a time, cooking it numerous times. Therefore it is necessary to proceed with numerous retouching, often overlapping different colors that only the painter's experience knows. A beautiful miniature needs from 20 to over 50 firings and is finished when the painter deems he does not have to further intervene. Some colors must have darker tones than others because then, by superimposing the transparent enamel placed at the end of the miniature, they fade. This transparent layer, called “fondant” in jargon, must be smoothed and polished like all other translucent enamel colors. The miniatures with water tempera colors are painted on real ivory...

Background: Azure Subjects: Multicolor Designer: Marika Tardio Designed by hand in Digital Art Made in: Italy Printing support: Fine Art ( front 50% cellulose, back non-woven backing Greenguard Gold Inks, low emissions). Single roll width: 53cms Height: cut according to the height of the wall. *** About the design: Fine and very long stems run along the whole wall, to end up becoming super-light flowers of Lilium Lancifolium, best known as Tiger Lilies. After a careful look at these flowers' designs, it is possible to catch sight of colors and textures that are part of another reality: the ancient technique named Scagliola, the Art of Moonrock. The Fiori wallpaper is in fact freely inspired by this very ancient art, which consisted of the skillful workmanship of plaster. This was then used to replace more precious materials, such as Lapis Lazuli, Rose Quartz, and Aquamarine. The noble art of Scagliola is part of those artistic techniques that will arouse admiration and astonishment. “The Scagliola technique makes that kind of constant miracle of the consistent art of imitation possible”. Fiori is based on 5 different and dedicated backgrounds, which recall calmness and refinement. The palette is easily matchable to any style of interior: white ice, sage green, caffe latte...
