An emblematic figure of Italian design in the 1970s, Gabriella Crespi is celebrated for her bold use of noble metals, brass and silver-plated metal worked in organic, lunar, or vegetal forms. This work of hammered metal with undulating fluting, combining golden and silvered reflections and beaded details, fully embodies the glam-chic and sculptural spirit characteristic of Italian art design from the seventies.

This pair of centerpieces in the manner of Gabriella Crespi illustrates the refinement of decorative arts , uniting the strength of an organic silhouette with the interplay of material of bicolored metals.
