Did you Know?

Venice's brass souvenir trade flourished from the 1950s through the 1970s, when skilled Venetian artisans produced highly detailed miniature gondola sculptures for the booming post-war European tourism market. These pieces were crafted using traditional lost-wax casting and hand-chasing techniques, making each one subtly unique. Authentic mid-century examples are increasingly sought after by collectors of Italian decorative arts.
