Florence Fragment
Vase Mounted with Chalcedony Rosettes
By Interi
Located in Dublin, Dalkey
17th century Italian vase mounted and encrusted with chalcedony rosettes on a petrified wood base.
This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. This was one of the worst floods recorded since the Renaissance and drew thousands of volunteers from all over the world to help save the city known for its precious history, artwork, artifacts, and rare books. The volunteers were called "the mud angels" because of the mud and silt left everything from the damage of the flood.
There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The chalcedony rosettes perfectly emulate the color and texture of the piece.
The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...
