Art Nouveau jewel walking stick in blue ceramic and gilded silver, signed Giorgio Ceragioli, Italy 1900.

Italy 1900.

6500 EURO

Walking stick with T-shaped knob in blue glazed ceramic, with ribbons of racemes, in silver gilt, that wind around the handle of this elegant stick, evoking a naturalistic fantasy in Art Nouveau style, as imagined by the Italian painter, sculptor and decorator Giorgio Ceragioli (1861-1947). Although it is a medium-sized stick, it exudes an aura of authentic radiance, with the contrast between the gold and the blue of the ceramic, in perfect balance, almost an explosion of bright colors. Cane in Malacca wood with metal tip. Its designer, Giorgio Ceragioli, began his career in Turin, where he collaborated with the set designer and decorator Augusto Ferri. Ceragioli was responsible for the decoration of Palazzo Marsaglia in Milan and later of the Teatro Regio in Turin. As a sculptor, in 1886 he created the heroic statue “A charging rifleman”, which today adorns the main staircase of the Royal Armoury. He devoted himself increasingly to the Applied Arts, taking on activities such as the design of the Fiat stand at the Paris Motor Show and other commercial ventures, and in 1902, he helped found the magazine “L’Arte Decorativa Moderna”. Interestingly, among the skilled craftsmen employed by the great Turin jeweler Musy, there was Giorgio Ceragioli, who became famous during his long career, not only as a graphic designer and designer of fabrics and furniture, but also as a goldsmith and jeweler. This walking stick can be considered one of his masterpieces in this last creative activity. Signed Giorgio Ceragioli, silver hallmark and engraved SCI mark, Ceramic Society, founded in Laveno-Mombello in 1856 by three former employees of the Milanese ceramic factory Richard. Italian. Italy circa 1900.
