Description from the seller
Stunning and elegant designer candle holder, made by the renowned Ottaviani manufactory (Recanati, Italy) in the 1980s. The piece belongs to the sought-after line 'Magnitudo Artis,' characterized by a modernist and tactile aesthetic.
The object is made of a solid block of crystal crafted to resemble ice, with an irregular texture that creates extraordinary plays of light. On the front, there is a geometric composition in solid 925 silver, finished with various textures (smooth, hammered, and knurled) that give the piece a sculptural depth.
