Palazzo Centauro porcelain candleholder statue with gold threading. Profumi Luchino Collection. The sculpture constitutes one of five precious Profumi Luchino. A uniquely designed piece of art, it is a memory of English designer Luke Edward Hall's trip to Venice, one of the artist's favorite destinations. It is a fragment of a statue kept in Palazzo Centauro and depicts the head of a dreamy-looking young man decorated with a band of gold running through his hair. It recalls Ganymede, the prince of the Trojans whom Homer described as the most beautiful of mortals. A piece of art in fine porcelain. The package includes the scented candle with woody and incense notes whose fragrance evokes enchantment. It releases the story of a Countess who, confined to the attics of her palace overlooking the sea, on a dark and foggy night, releases a scent of bergamot, patchouli and resin, discovering secrets kept inside a cedarwood trunk. Artist and designer Luke Edward Hall tells of his journey around the world, describing the places of the heart that set him apart. With Palazzo Centauro he lands in Italy to relive the magical Venetian atmosphere by imagining a place that rises above the Grand Canal, where magnificent Centaurs welcome those who enter. Show more
