AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Transform Light and Wind into Poetry for Your Home!
Are you ready to gift your spaces with a magical and relaxing atmosphere? This splendid suncatcher and wind chime in the shape of a butterfly is a true jewel of light. Made in Silverplated and blue opalescent glass and embellished with brilliant facets, it captures the sun’s rays, creating enchanting refractions and colorful reflections thanks to the hanging mirror tiles.
At the slightest breeze, the lower metal tubes emit a soft, harmonious sound, perfect for creating a peaceful oasis in your garden, on the veranda, or near a sunlit window.
Don’t let this butterfly fly away: it is the decorative element that completes and elevates your furniture collection with elegance and eclectic style!
The object is part of the artisanal tradition of Tiffany Glass (Tiffany Stained Glass), a technique made famous at the end of the 19th century by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The individual glass pieces are shaped and edged with metal tape, then soldered with tin.
As a decorative art production from the late 1960s, the piece belongs to home décor collections inspired by the Art Nouveau style. It bears no marks or signatures of famous designers, but it represents a visually striking and sonically appreciated item in the collection of veranda and garden ornaments.
Good condition, it shows minor signs of use and age; please view the photo gallery.
Dimensions: about 34x12x0.5 cm
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
