Bouquets de fer, de laiton et de verre, attribués à Banci Firenze

Chaque applique pousse comme un arbuste. Des tiges de fer martelé, d'un gris sombre presque bleuté, jaillissent d'un vase de verre taillé adossé à une plaque de laiton découpée, puis se ramifient en marguerites de verre clair au cœur de laiton, parmi des feuilles d'un verre grisé. Plus bas, deux bras en crosse portent des binets de laiton et de fausses bougies crème, au-dessus de collerettes de feuilles de fer et de petits éléments de verre taillé. Tout tient dans le contraste entre le métal mat et les pétales qui accrochent la lumière.

La galerie rattache ces appliques à Banci Firenze, nom associé à Giovanni Banci, artiste et créateur de mobilier florentin actif des années 1960 aux années 1980. Son atelier est connu pour le fer martelé, dont les traces de marteau restent visibles, et pour le fer doré à la feuille ; il a collaboré avec Hermès. Dans les années 1970, il produit aussi des appliques en fer doré à décor floral, ornées de cristal. Ces éléments proviennent de fiches de marchands spécialisés, sans archive ni date de fondation. La fiche date la paire vers 1970, tout en l'inscrivant dans le design des années 50-60.

Each wall light grows like a shrub. Stems of hammered iron, a dark grey close to blue, spring from a cut-glass vase set against a shaped brass plate, then branch into daisies of clear glass with brass hearts, among leaves of greyish glass. Lower down, two crook-shaped arms carry brass sconces and cream imitation candles, above collars of iron leaves and small cut-glass elements. Everything rests on the contrast between matt metal and petals that catch the light.

The gallery links these lights to Banci Firenze, the name associated with Giovanni Banci, a Florentine artist and furniture designer active from the 1960s to the 1980s. His workshop is known for hammered iron that keeps the marks of the hammer, and for iron gilded with leaf; he collaborated with Hermès. In the 1970s it also produced gilt iron wall lights with floral decoration set with crystal. These points come from specialist dealers' listings, with no archive or founding date. The listing dates the pair to around 1970 while filing it under 1950s and 1960s design.
