The Scholar (Il Letterato) Candle
NZD$790.00
Il Letterato or The Scholar is the mentor, the symbol of wisdom. He contemplates the great design of life, an attentive observer who artfully tells the story of our human drama. He passes down wisdom and stories from earlier generations. A porcelain sculpture in the form of a bust. The upper part is adorned with a hat-like cylindrical container, designed to carefully protect the candle and its wisdom.
These creations designed by Luca Nichetto are timeless, scented works of art. Ginori brings back to life the most exciting characters of the court of Caterina ‘de Medici in the creation of the LCDC collection – a home fragrance collection of hand-made porcelain decorative scenting totems. The statuesque faces of the characters become the archetypal protagonists of the LCDC collection, thanks to a modern reinterpretation, inspired by, Jean-Paul Gouse’s illustrations and graffiti and Lucha Libre’s masks.
Ensure you are one of the lucky few to secure one of these incredible decorative objects, whether as a gift or a piece to treasure yourself, there is no doubt it will be an item of interest and conversation.
