Candleholder Il Letterato Pure White
Brand


Authorised retailer
Description
A symbol of wisdom, Il Letterato (The Scholar) is a contemplator of the design of life, a keen observer and skillful storyteller of human entanglements. It is a fine white porcelain sculpture depicting a face on a bust. At the top it is adorned with a cylindrical hat, capable of carefully guarding the candle and its thoughts. It matches the kit of scented candles in the Black Stone fragrance (the scented candles are not included in the package), with oriental notes. Inspired by the Black Stone talisman given by the court astrologer to Catherine de' Medici, this scent is reminiscent of the spices used by alchemists at that time. It is the scent of discovery, capable of keeping the fire alive in every person. La Compagnia di Caterina is a home fragrances collection that tells the story of Caterina De' Medici and her court. It stems from the artistic talent of Designer Luca Nichetto, who combines the Manifattura's figurative tradition with his contemporary vision in a porcelain line in which statuesque faces become the archetypal protagonists of the collection.
