Handcrafted in the famed Zanetti Vetreria Artistica on the island of Murano, Italy, this exquisite piece captures the elegance, balance, and brilliance of mid-century Italian design. Standing an impressive 16 inches tall and weighing approximately 11 pounds, this radiant glass elephant rises on one leg atop a crystal sphere, an image of both strength and lightness. The base features the intricate bullicante technique—controlled air bubbles suspended perfectly within the glass—creating a mesmerizing effect as light passes through. Every curve, from the outstretched trunk to the sculpted ears and dynamic stance, showcases the artisan precision and sculptural grace that define Murano’s finest works. Marked with the authentic Zanetti Murano foil label and the etched signature Vetri Murano VM, this sculpture represents not just craftsmanship, but legacy. The clear, flawless glass refracts light with remarkable purity, embodying both luxury and symbolism—the elephant, an emblem of wisdom, good fortune, and prosperity, rendered here in the most luminous of materials. In excellent vintage condition, free from chips or cracks, this commanding work of art is a tribute to Licio Zanetti’s mastery and Murano’s centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Whether displayed as the centerpiece of a collection or as a statement of refined taste in a modern interior, it radiates prestige, history, and Italian excellence.

Bathed in warm coastal light, this original oil painting captures the timeless romance of a Mediterranean hillside village descending toward the sea. Rendered with confident palette-knife strokes and rich impasto texture, the composition invites the eye down a sunlit stone pathway framed by rustic homes, climbing florals, and terracotta rooftops. In the distance, sailboats drift across calm blue waters, adding depth, serenity, and a sense of quiet movement to the scene. The artist’s use of texture is a defining feature here—thick, expressive layers of oil paint bring the foliage, masonry, and sky to life, creating a tactile surface that changes subtly with light and viewing angle. Earthy neutrals, soft blues, and warm floral accents work in harmony, making this piece equally suited for classic interiors, Mediterranean-inspired spaces, or as a statement contrast in more modern settings. The painting is mounted on a substantial canvas and presented with an ornate wrought-iron style hanging mount, lending architectural presence and old-world character. The reverse reveals hand-finished edges and visible canvas texture, consistent with a hand-painted work rather than a reproduction or decorative print. Signed by the artist Marino, this piece stands as a singular work meant to anchor a room and evoke a sense of place, travel, and enduring charm.

The photograph is mounted within a beautifully sculpted cedar plaque featuring a dramatic live-edge style border. The natural wood grain and warm reddish-orange tones of the cedar frame the scene organically, with carved contours that echo the rugged textures of the outdoors. The entire surface is sealed beneath a high-gloss resin finish that enhances depth and color, giving the water a glass-like appearance while preserving the wood’s natural character. Blending rustic craftsmanship with nature photography, this display-ready wall plaque offers a distinctive decorative presence well suited for cabins, lake houses, lodges, or any space inspired by the outdoors. The solid wood backing retains its natural grain and includes a sawtooth hanger for easy wall display. Discovered by Treasures Of Bako - Have we got a gem for you?!

A moment suspended between adventure and devotion unfolds across the restless sea in Love Knots, the celebrated romantic illustration by American artist Clarence F. Underwood. Two figures lean forward together at the helm of a small motorboat, their gaze fixed on the horizon as emerald waves surge beneath them.

This striking winged Cupid, also known as Eros, rises with authority atop a celestial globe, frozen in a moment of myth and motion. One foot balances on a star-etched sphere while his wings spread wide, bow drawn, arm extended forward as if mid-flight through the heavens. The pose is dynamic, expressive, and unmistakably classical, evoking the romance and symbolism of Old World European sculpture.

This piece comes from an estate setting and shows natural surface wear and patina consistent with age, enhancing its character without compromising its visual impact.

This striking winged Cupid, also known as Eros, rises with authority atop a celestial globe, frozen in a moment of myth and motion. One foot balances on a star-etched sphere while his wings spread wide, bow drawn, arm extended forward as if mid-flight through the heavens. The pose is dynamic, expressive, and unmistakably classical, evoking the romance and symbolism of Old World European sculpture. Standing an impressive 17 inches tall, this statue is solid, heavy, and cold to the touch, with the unmistakable presence of cast metal. When tapped, it produces a resonant metallic “clink,” consistent with solid brass or bronze rather than resin or composite. The surface displays a warm golden tone with subtle darker undertones, suggesting either aged brass or bronze—or brass finished in a traditional bronze-style patina, a common and respected technique used in high-quality decorative sculpture throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Stylistically, the piece aligns closely with French Art Nouveau–inspired figural sculpture, often associated with the Moreau school aesthetic—flowing forms, romantic mythology, and dramatic posture designed to be admired from every angle. While no visible maker’s mark or signature was found, the craftsmanship, weight, and sculptural detail place it firmly within the category of high-end vintage decorative art, not mass-produced décor. The base itself is sculpted rather than flat, reinforcing the celestial theme with carved stars and dimensional texture, giving the entire statue a sense of movement and narrative. Whether placed on a mantel, pedestal, console table, or within a curated art collection, this is a centerpiece object—bold, romantic, and timeless. This piece comes from an estate setting and shows natural surface wear and patina consistent with age, enhancing its character without compromising its visual impact. It is not a reproduction resin figure; it is a substantial, old-world style sculpture meant to last generations. Discovered by Treasures of Bako – Have we got a gem for you

This lidded decorative ginger jar features a richly colored, multi-panel design with a textured teal ground, cobalt blue accents, and deep magenta banding.

Bathed in warm coastal light, this original oil painting captures the timeless romance of a Mediterranean hillside village descending toward the sea. Rendered with confident palette-knife strokes and rich impasto texture, the composition invites the eye down a sunlit stone pathway framed by rustic homes, climbing florals, and terracotta rooftops. In the distance, sailboats drift across calm blue waters, adding depth, serenity, and a sense of quiet movement to the scene. The artist’s use of texture is a defining feature here—thick, expressive layers of oil paint bring the foliage, masonry, and sky to life, creating a tactile surface that changes subtly with light and viewing angle. Earthy neutrals, soft blues, and warm floral accents work in harmony, making this piece equally suited for classic interiors, Mediterranean-inspired spaces, or as a statement contrast in more modern settings. The painting is mounted on a substantial canvas and presented with an ornate wrought-iron style hanging mount, lending architectural presence and old-world character. The reverse reveals hand-finished edges and visible canvas texture, consistent with a hand-painted work rather than a reproduction or decorative print. Signed by the artist Marino, this piece stands as a singular work meant to anchor a room and evoke a sense of place, travel, and enduring charm.
