About this seller
Product description
A true icon of mid-20th-century Italian design, this sterling silver brooch was designed by Gio Ponti for Christofle in the 1950s.
Its design echoes the emblematic shape of the "Arrow" candlestick, one of Gio Ponti's most recognizable motifs, characterized by a slender, geometric, and symbolic line that is both minimalist and sculptural.
This piece perfectly illustrates Ponti's approach: functional design transposed here into an architectural jewel, straddling the line between decorative art and collector's item.
Made of sterling silver, it displays a beautiful patina and a few minor scratches consistent with its age and attesting to its authenticity.
