Description from the seller
Voigtländer Vito II (35mm) – Unique Edition "Homage to Giuseppe Verdi" – Florentine Art Restoration
Object Description:
A perfect blend of German mechanics and Italian operatic art.
We auction a one-of-a-kind piece of art: a classic 35mm Voigtländer Vito II folding camera, expertly revisited and transformed into a collectible artwork.
The reinterpretation work was performed by a master restorer with over 30 years of experience in restoring artworks and antiques in Florence.
To pay homage to the mechanical excellence and the engineering precision of the Voigtländer era, the artist coupled it with the timeless perfection of classical music and its maestro par excellence: Giuseppe Verdi.
Customization Details:
Design & theme: the casing features a fascinating artistic composition with geometric and theatrical taste, inspired by lyrical stage sets. On the camera body are finely inscribed the titles of Verdi's greatest operas: "Aida", "Rigoletto" and "La Traviata", enriched with musical notes and theatrical masks.
Innovative technical material: the original leatherette has been completely replaced with a new, state-of-the-art technical material, resistant to wear, humidity, and liquids, ensuring durability and protection.
Handcrafted finish: every detail is finished by hand in Florence, making this specimen a unique 1/1 piece in the world.
