The story

A beautiful Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte jewellery box made in Italy in the early 1940s. Carved from walnut wood, with a beautiful blue mirrored crystal covering the box, finished with ebonized walnut wood handles, this beautiful box is really one of a kind. It is heavy and made to stay, a quality to be expected from Fontana Arte. It has been fully restored, the brown velvet fabric inside that was pretty damaged has been replaced by a black velvet fabric. A collectible piece, perfect as a gift, with a very nice decorative presence, found in a very good vintage condition.

About Pietro Chiesa

Italian glass designer Pietro Chiesa (1892-1948) founded the glass workshop Bottega di Pietro Chiesa in Milan and became artistic director of Fontana Arte from 1933. His designs include the Luminator floor lamp (1933), the curved glass Cartoccio vase and furniture in thick, bent and silvered glass. He shaped Fontana Arte's identity. Collectors seek his furniture and lamps in original glass, especially early models with period documentation.
