Il canto delle balene
Inspired by a poetic merry-go-round, this centrepiece fruit-stand is made in brass. The pearl-shaped profile is inspired by a 19th century tradition. The time-honoured technique of the lost-wax casting, now frequently used by jewellers, was employed to create the bronze silhouettes of the whales, originally hand-modelled in clay by Pietro Russo. The work is chiselled and finished by hand.
