Our Collection

A soliflore vase of square section in Murano crystal (cristallo), a remarkable example of Italian design of the 1960s. An architectural piece combining the rigour of geometric cutting with the fluidity of colour.

Highlights:

. Technique: sommerso work (superposed glass) presenting a fuchsia-amaranth core in suspension within a thick mass of translucent crystal.

. Finish: entirely facet-cut and cold-polished. The edges are sharp, creating spectacular refraction effects in the light.

. Authenticity: original "Made in Murano Italy" label present beneath the base.

. Attribution: model characteristic of Mandruzzato or Flavio Poli productions.

. Perfect state of preservation. No chips, no nicks on the edges. Limpid crystal.

Why choose this piece: this is a large format (26 cm) with a strong visual presence. Its vivid colour and minimalist design make it a sought-after collector's piece.

A fine rectangular coffee table emblematic of French and Italian sophistication of the 1970s. This piece embodies the luxurious aesthetic of late 20th-century Parisian "Glamour", of which Willy Rizzo and Maison Jansen were the leading figures.

The top is a technical feat: a hand-worked lacquered resin, offering an organic decoration with warm nuances of amber, Sienna and tortoiseshell. The visual depth of the top, protected by a high-gloss lacquer, contrasts admirably with the architectural rigour of the base. The structure is composed of a square-section brass frame. The elegance of this model lies in the detail of the recessed joint (or shadow band) in black located between the top and the base, creating an illusion of levitation characteristic of high-end creations of this period. Timeless design, manufacturing quality, decorative effect. France or Italy, circa 1975.

Two very fine wedding globes containing bouquets of fruit in papier-mâché. 19th century. From 1850 to 1930, it was customary to preserve wedding bouquets under a globe for the entire duration of the marriage, traditionally ordered by the bride's mother.

For those fortunate enough to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, the custom was to offer them a basket of fruit. These fruits represented the four seasons. They were chosen to recall the symbols of the union.

The flowers transform into fruits. Marriage produces children.

White grapes symbolise little girls. Black grapes symbolise little boys. The apple symbolises fecundity and love. The peach exorcises evil spirits.
