ANTIQUE OIL LAMP
Mid-19th Century Oil Lamp
This intriguing hand-forged oil lamp was in use up until the invention of electricity. Typically, it was filled with rapeseed oil or whale oil. However, since the light produced by such fuels is weak, kerosene was often mixed in to strengthen the flame. Such lamps were mostly used as work lights. In our region, a similar lamp can be found in the Idrija museum, where it is presented as a miner's lamp. Abroad, its use is often associated with weavers, as weaving usually started when there was no more work in the fields and the days began to shorten, making the additional light very welcome. Today, this interesting oil lamp can be an attractive decorative piece, especially because of the rooster decorating the screw used to open the lamp for oil refilling and wick replacement. Of course, the lamp is still functional; just pour in the chosen fuel, and it's ready to light up your dark days and nights.

PLIA CHAIR
Plia chair, manufactured in the late 1960s. Designed by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli.
The iconic folding Plia chair was first introduced at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1967 and immediately garnered immense public enthusiasm. Its revolutionary folding mechanism offered a completely new concept for folding chairs. The main advantages of this exceptional chair are its lightweight construction, adaptability, and the ability to be used both indoors and outdoors. The folding mechanism was entirely novel and highly innovative for its time. The chair relies on one of its metal discs to connect the backrest, seat, and legs, allowing it to be folded into a compact, flat shape just five centimeters thick. Speaking about this innovative concept, designer Piretti referred to it as the "Thonet of the 20th century." He explained, "If you look at a typical folding chair from the side profile, you'll see it has three joints. I found a way to condense that triangular mechanism into a single joint that looked so elegant and beautiful that I wanted it to be fully visible." Additionally, the chairs can be stacked on top of each other or hung on a specially designed wall hook when folded. The Plia chair was not only revolutionary in its folding mechanism but also in its use of plastic, a material that was still finding its place in the furniture industry at the time. Combining a metal frame with a plastic seat and backrest, the Plia chair became a symbol of 1970s design. It is also partially connected to our region, as it received the BIO5 award at the Ljubljana Biennial in 1971 and another award in Germany in 1973. Its iconic status is further evidenced by its inclusion in exhibitions at museums of modern art, such as the legendary Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The Plia chair is an ideal seat for any household. With its modern appearance and materials, it complements contemporary interiors perfectly, including apartments, terraces, cafes, and offices. Being foldable and incredibly compact in its folded form, it is ideal as an auxiliary chair for any home, as it can be easily stored until its next use. However, we are confident that this cult chair will find its place as an everyday chair, as its vibrancy and unmistakable design will bring a special charm to any space. Dimensions: 75 x 50 x 47 cm Weight: 5.5 kg The chairs are excellently preserved. Price is for one chair.
TRAMP ART CRUCIFIX
Tramp art crucifix.
Tramp art, also known as "hobo art," was popular from the 1870s to the 1940s. No one knows exactly when it began, but materials such as wooden cigar boxes became standard around the 1850s. Smoking cigarettes was very popular at that time, and by law, cigarette manufacturers could not reuse the boxes, making them an excellent source of material. Tramp art is believed to have evolved from the folk art tradition of woodcarving. Cigar boxes and pieces of wood from dismantled wooden crates were carved and assembled together to create picture frames, decorative boxes, and even pieces of furniture. While the style is said to have originated from Germany and Scandinavia, it can be found in all industrialized countries. The name comes from the myth that tramp art was created by hobos who often traded their creations for food and lodging. Although there is some truth to this myth, many who created tramp art were skilled artisans who dedicated a lot of time to their creative endeavors. Most tramp art pieces are unsigned and undated, adding to the mystique surrounding them.

After Paris, he moved to Belgium, inspired by the sculptors there. However, homesickness drew him back to Venice, where he continued to dedicate himself to his craft. During that time, he contributed to the remodeling of Palazze Cavalli Franchetti, created a bust sculpture of Vittorio Emanuele II for the town hall in Pordenone, and crafted a relief for the facade of the Pietà church in Venice, which can still be found there today. In those years, he also received his first recognitions for his work, not only in his native Italy but also receiving awards in Vienna and Paris, with museums beginning to acquire his works. He was described as an "aristocratic artist" endowed with "an instinctive sense of measure, allowing him to be lively without being vulgar and strict without being harsh." In later years, he became known primarily for crafting prestigious tombstones, including one for Queen Margherita of Savoy. He passed away in 1926 in Venice, and his works remain part of museums today, highlighting his enduring creative energy, which is still appreciated to this day.
