Il Tuffatore by Loredano Rosin (1936-1992). Il Tuffatore, literally translated as, The Diver is a Murano glass sculpture in deep grey. It depicts a modernist figure with its head down in a diving position. It is an extraordinary example of the artist, Rosin's work and is signed on the base. Rosin was an Italian sculptor who worked predominantly in Murano glass and was once a master blower at the renowned furnace Salviati & Co in Venice where he worked with the likes of Picasso and Chagall. Today his works are exhibited in MOMA the Museum of Modern Art in New York and in the Fine Art Museum of Boston. We are incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful piece.
Please Note: This exceptional signed art work may require special export paperwork depending on the country of destination. The Italian Collector organises and pays for all of this to be completed, it can take between 2 and 6 weeks.

They can be used as purely decorative pieces or as bookends.

This pair of articulated golden brass bowls were made by Gucci in Italy in the 1970s. They are extremely heavy and the central hinge allows one to move the bowls as one wishes. They can be used either for aperitivo or on a desk or dressing table to hold small objects. The pair is stamped Gucci on each brass bowl on the top and they have a soft suede lining on the back stamped Made in Italy by Gucci. These bowls are very heavy and in good condition. Excellent collectors items for vintage Gucci enthusiasts.

The Italian Collector
“The longer that I live in Italy, the more I become convinced that the most beautiful things have already been created, it is simply a question of finding them”
We journey across Italy in search of exquisitely designed and hand-crafted vintage Italian homewares and glassware. We have trawled flea markets in Ischia and Gubbio and ‘cantinas’ in Perugia and Todi, bid at auctions in Florence, negotiated over coffee with Signori in private homes in Milan and Naples and attended antiques fairs in Abruzzo, all on our quest for beauty.
Guided by the Italian principle of ‘piano, piano’, we often come home with only one piece. This approach of doing things slowly, allows us to seek out only the most beautiful pieces; speak at length with the seller about how and when it was made, who has owned it and what it was used for. It allows us to research an object’s Italian design heritage by consulting with a variety of experts. Which Italian designer or craftsman made the piece, where was the workshop, why and when did they stop making these pieces, what specialist techniques have been used in its creation.
Often we rely on the owner’s information together with the objects' distinct style to gauge its age. The true beauty of each piece emerges with its unique story and the passage of time. Most pieces are in excellent condition having been found in a chest in a palazzo and never been used and others have the patina of age showing the signs of antiquity that only add to its beauty.
