AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Saverio Cavalli Designer Italiano anni 1970.
Pure and yellow gold brooch with granular gold and topaz on wood. Italy 1965
Valenza, North Italy; 1922 – 2012. “A continuous dialogue between surface, color, light, symbol, matter and time.” According to Cavalli, this is the definition of art. The famous goldsmith, painter and sculptor dedicated his whole life to that dialogue. His everlasting urge for experimentation, matched by his exceptional craftsmanship, led him to the creation of abstract forms of distinctive moderation and unrivalled harmony, reflecting the qualities of the Italian mid-20th century visual art. Cavalli thought of life as “infinite worlds, waiting to be born at any given moment.” Seeking beauty not only in precious materials, but also in form, texture and composition, he soon abandoned gold and precious stones in favor of a more liberating palette, comprised of wood, ivory, ebony, iron, aluminium, nickel, paper, fabric and plastic.
Seller's Story
Passionate and watch dealer for at least 30 years, it was born as a passion and became a profession that fascinates me time after time, a careful frequenter of international markets and an attentive researcher of vintage and modern watches. I have also been an official seller of brands such as Richard Mille, Breitling, Zenith, Hublot, Franck Muller and others. I put my experience at the service of those who buy our watches and I guarantee a careful check of both running and waterproofing and accompanied by descriptive tests on the controls of the same before being sold.
All our shipments are insured and made by DHL courier.
