Gabriele De Vecchi took over his father’s historic Futurist-inspired workshop in 1962, pushing the boundaries of Italian silverware by merging precious metals with unexpected natural materials. De Vecchi's studio was so highly regarded for its craftsmanship that it frequently manufactured exclusive luxury objects for premier global houses like Tiffany & Co.
Excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate light patina to the sterling silver base. The fluorite flower remains structurally sound with no deep chips or repairs, showing only the natural, internal inclusion lines characteristic of the mineral.
