Dettagli del prodotto
This exceptional pair of 1950s silver-plated centerpieces represents a stunning collaboration between the master of Italian Mid-Century modernism, Gio Ponti, and the historic metalware manufacturer Fratelli Calderoni. Featuring Ponti’s signature minimalist elegance, each piece is defined by a perfectly balanced, shallow circular bowl swept over by a dramatic, ribbed hoop handle that doubles as a sculptural arch. What makes this specific pair incredibly special is their unique, individual histories as custom commissions for Italy's post-war elite. One centerpiece is engraved with the insignia of the prestigious "Sicula Oceanica" shipping line, complete with its classic maritime flag logo, while the other bears the stamp of the historic "Pinewood Hotel Roccaraso," evoking the glamorous winter retreats of mid-century Abruzzo. Showing a beautiful, authentic patina with gentle surface wear that only adds to their vintage character, these bowls are not just striking functional centerpieces for a contemporary table, but genuine, conversation-starting fragments of Italian design history. They are in very good condition considering use and age.
