In ancient frescoes, the sky was almost always depicted in a golden hue. Despite being a counterintuitive concept, the artists' choice was due to the belief that God resided in the sky, symbolizing divinity. Thus, it had to be glorified with a precious pigment. This artistic tradition continues in mosaic art: no material is more fitting to represent elegance and luxury than gold. The use of gold tesserae is a powerful way to underscore the grandeur and significance of what is depicted. When gold is incorporated into a mosaic, it is never arbitrary, without necessarily invoking the concept of divinity. It signifies that something destined to have timeless significance resides within that work. #italianmosaic #mosaic #art #architecture #design #italiandesign #luxury #artwork 𝙄𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙨: © 2024, 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙠 𝙂𝙢𝙗𝙃

Craftsmanship at its finest! Dive into the artistry of this Natural Cristallo White Quartzite Countertop installation. 

Here’s some thoughts: The Art of Marble with Dull Golden Accents: A Look Back at Timeless Elegance In artistry, each piece tells a story, and this one holds a special place in my journey as an artist. A year ago, I completed a project using marble with dull golden accents, merging classic elements with a subtle touch of modern luxury. The marble’s natural elegance combined with dull golden highlights created a work that remains close to my heart. This project allowed me to explore the understated beauty that golden accents can bring to the marble’s textured surface. The GP resin used not only enhanced the durability of the piece but also preserved the essence of timeless sophistication. The materials are silent storytellers, carrying with them the depth of the artistry. Looking back, this creation represents my ongoing commitment to blending tradition with contemporary artistry. It’s a reminder of how small details can elevate a material without overwhelming it, and how art is about finding balance and letting the material speak for itself. #ThrowbackArt #MarbleCraft #GoldenAccents #ArtisticJourney #TimelessDesign

An inlaid table in Florentine pietra dura: a true masterpiece that alone would be enough to win me over! But the Christie's auction in Paris, 12 March, is certainly not limited to this. A skilful selection of #furniture, #decorative art and #paintings from the 16th century to the present day, design and even a #car, a 1937 Pontiac Motors de luxe six cabriolet that belonged to the Prince of Savoy (lot 191): an eclectic symphony of eras and styles that will tickle the fancy of any #collector. Christie's intention is clear: to attract a large and varied group of enthusiasts, demonstrating how works from different eras can dialogue harmoniously within a house. In my opinion, this is a nice idea, which also winks at younger collectors, showing them how art and design are not necessarily confined into rigid categories, but can merge into a single, fascinating narrative. How I would have loved to admire the staging of this suggestive auction live! An unmissable opportunity to get lost among unexpected treasures and be inspired by unusual combinations. What makes this auction so special? An eclectic selection of works: A true kaleidoscope of eras and styles, from the 16th century to the present day, embracing furniture, decorative art, paintings and design. An innovative idea: Demonstrating how works from different eras can dialogue harmoniously within a home, opening up new frontiers for collectors. An opportunity for new collectors: An auction that is also accessible to young people, offering inspiration and the possibility of creating unique and personalised collections. Imagine walking through the halls of Christie's in Paris, admiring this extraordinary collection. An experience that not only pleases the eyes, but feeds the soul and ignites the imagination. Have you browsed the auction catalogue yet? Let yourself be captivated by the beauty and uniqueness of these works of art. Who knows, you might find the perfect treasure for your home! https://lnkd.in/dZh3RQrG #Art #Auction #Paris #collections #Christies 

The best storage is sculpted space…

This article is written specifically focused on the real estate factors impacting this trend, but reading it with my perspective as an appraiser, I wonder about how reluctance to part with the art, furnishings, and decorative arts objects *inside* the houses is also influencing people's decisions to not sell their large homes. https://lnkd.in/dW4-xedz
