Description from the seller
This magnificent pair of bronze braziers is a masterpiece inspired by classical art, an homage to the refinement and symbolism of ancient Pompeii. The structures are supported by three dancing fauns, sylvan deities connected to fertility and the natural world, depicted with extraordinary attention to detail and a graceful posture that evokes movement and lightness.
The slender legs, fused with elegant vegetal motifs, seamlessly transform into stable bases, while the sculpted bodies with well-defined musculature enhance the mythological charm of these figures. The fauns gracefully bear a large cup decorated with a pierced border, whose design recalls the refined ceremonial objects of the Roman era.
Inspired by Pompeian finds, with clear allusions to classical art and Roman mythology, the mythological fauns represent fertility, festivity, and a connection with nature.
Originally used to hold burning embers, these braziers are perfectly suited today as luxurious decorative elements, capable of enriching any space with their ancient charm.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
