You can place it in the marital bedroom, as the elephant symbol is believed to strengthen relationships, enhance fertility, and prevent infidelity.

For business success, position the elephant sculpture near the main entrance, as its presence will energize your business.

A lowered trunk is said to represent longevity and the ability to overcome challenges. The black color of the elephant represents prosperity and success. Therefore, this beautiful elephant sculpture, handcrafted from exotic hardwood, can be the perfect gift for yourself and your home. Dimensions: 47 x 35.5 x 22 cm Weight: 11 kg The elephant is excellently preserved.
CHASTITY BELT
The chastity belt.
Who hasn't heard of the chastity belt? A device that supposedly helped husbands and fathers ensure that their wives and daughters remained untouched and "pure" as far back as the Middle Ages. This was said to be a metal belt tightened around a woman's waist, locked by the man with a large padlock. This medieval man could then be free of worries that his chosen one would engage in sexual relations with someone else, despite their prolonged absence due to wars. How barbaric and unhygienic, isn't it? At least that's the story that has been told for centuries. Simple, shocking, and somewhat amusing, as it portrays past people as extremely backward, contrasting with our enlightened and better selves. However, this is not the true story of the chastity belt. The truth is, there is no physical evidence that chastity belts existed in those times, at least not in a physical form. They are mentioned a few times in literature and depicted in artworks, albeit more in an allegorical and satirical sense. The earliest evidence of a chastity belt can be found in a book by military engineer von Eichstadt from 1405, which described catapults, armor, and torture devices, including a sketch of a chastity belt. Historians are convinced that this was just one of the humorous inventions he included in the book, similar to a device for becoming invisible or a fart-propelled contraption, which further solidifies the fact that chastity belts were not used in the Middle Ages. The surviving examples of chastity belts found today are believed to have been made in the 19th century. With the advent of industrialization in Europe, materials such as iron and steel became more accessible, and soon blacksmiths realized there was a particular market they could tap into. Puritanical masses of that time were willing to pay a lot of money to view medieval torture devices in museums and exhibitions, satisfying their craving for their own judgment of medieval barbarism. Thus, blacksmiths of that time made several torture devices, including chastity belts, and sold them to museums and collections. Interestingly, the chastity belt probably was never in widespread use in the past, but its use has spread precisely in modern times, in BDSM and fetish communities. Thus, the chastity belt is an urban legend of the Middle Ages that has survived to this day. Now it can be an interesting addition to any historical collection or a fascinating ornament to spark debates. Certainly, one of those pieces that tell a story and stimulate our imagination. Dimensions: 55 x 35 x 25 cm Weight: 4 kg The chastity belt is in excellent condition.
BANCI FIRENZE WALL LIGHT
Wall light, crafted in the 1960s by the prestigious Banci company in Florence.
This handcrafted, gilded wall lamp is adorned with glass ornaments and is not just a lighting fixture, but a true work of art. This exceptional light will elevate any space, bringing that special touch that only a high-quality product, crafted by multiple generations of skilled artisans, can provide. Undoubtedly a wall lamp that will not go unnoticed.
Banci Firenze – named after its founder Giuseppe Banci, who first opened his shop in 1899, initially as a store, later adding a workshop where chandeliers and mirrors were restored. They quickly gained a reputation as skilled artisans, working in the traditional ways and using the same materials. The neighborhood where Banci was located had been known since medieval times as a hub of artists and craftsmen, renowned worldwide for its master blacksmiths. Thanks to this guild, Florence became an economic powerhouse and a meeting place for famous artists and artisans.
In the 1930s, inspired by the city’s history and the knowledge he had gained over years of restoration work, Giuseppe Banci, together with his children Gaston and Ghita, began producing the first “Banci” chandeliers. Although Gaston passed away young, Ghita continued the craft, and later three of Gaston’s children joined the company. This generation elevated Banci to new heights, expanding sales internationally and creating new lamp models. This led to new collections and unique pieces, blending one-of-a-kind creations with small-batch production. Today, Jacopo Banci works alongside his father Massimo, making Banci a company with over 100 years of history, spanning four generations, and representing Florence’s cultural and artisanal pride.

VINTAGE MURANO GLASS TABLE LAMP
BOTTLES SALVADOR DALI
Bottles designed by Salvador Dali for Rosso Antico company in 1970.
An artist who needs no introduction, Salvador Dali, one of the most renowned artists of the previous century, designed these bottles for the Italian company Rosso Antico, known for producing an aperitif. During those years, they sought to elevate their already well-established brand, as Rosso Antico was known as the prince of aperitifs at the time. They invited Dali to collaborate, and he designed these surrealist glass bottles, featuring his own paintings, which are also signed. The company intended these bottles to be collector's items, so they produced them in limited quantities between 1970 and 1972. Afterward, all the molds for making these bottles and the prints for the paintings were destroyed on June 30, 1972. As a result, these bottles are rare and highly sought-after collector's items among Salvador Dali enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

BRONZE SCULPTURE, VINCENZO GEMITO
Antique bronze sculpture by Vincenzo Gemito, Naples, 19th Century.
An exquisite bronze bust of a child by the Italian sculptor Vincenzo Gemito (1852–1929). The sculpture is distinguished by its remarkably realistic facial modelling, expressive eyes, delicate facial features and carefully rendered hair. The bust is mounted on an elaborately decorated socle featuring a sculpted cherub. The base bears the artist's signature and a circular foundry mark, comparable to marks found on documented bronze casts produced at Gemito's own foundry in Naples. This particular detail makes the sculpture especially interesting. In 1883, with financial support from Baron Oscar de Mesnil, Gemito established his own foundry, where he produced and cast his works during one of the most productive periods of his career. The foundry closed as early as 1886, making works associated with this period particularly interesting to collectors. This sculpture is therefore a fascinating collectible and decorative example of late 19th-century Italian sculpture, with a direct connection to Vincenzo Gemito's artistic and foundry practice. It offers a wonderful opportunity to own a sculpture associated with the work of this distinguished artist, whose creations are held in important museum collections. Dimensions: 34,5 × 21 × 20,5 cm Weight: 3,2 kg Excellent antique condition.

Crafted in bronze, it is an outstanding example of religious art, though its creator remains unknown. The piece exudes deep emotional intensity, showcasing an astonishing level of detail and a realistic portrayal of human suffering and divine sorrow.

The folds in Mary’s garments create a dramatic contrast with the smoothness of the figures’ skin, enhancing both the realism and the symbolic depth of the scene.

Its anonymity adds another layer of mystery and universality to this deeply moving piece, which continues to inspire awe and contemplative reverence in all who behold it.

STATUE OF IMMACULATE VIRGIN MARY “CAP I POTA”
Statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, made in Spain in the 19th century.
This beautiful statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary is an exceptional work crafted by Catalan artists in the 19th century. The statue is wooden and polychromed. Such statues of saints were primarily made for processions, and since naturalism has been highly desirable for religious images since the Baroque period, they were made for the purpose of dressing, as clothing adds a level of realism that is difficult to achieve solely through carving. The Catalan term for this type of statue is "Cap i Pota," which means "head and feet," as in such statues, the head, feet, and hands are intricately crafted, while the torso is not as much, as it was covered by clothing. This particular statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary was likely intended for home worship, as indicated by its size. The symbolism of the statue represents the Virgin Mary standing on a shining sphere – the moon, which symbolizes heavenly glory, while her foot rests on the head of a serpent, symbolizing sin over which Mary prevails. Dimensions: 44 x 16 x 13 cm Weight: 1.5 kg The statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary is well-preserved.
