Clear tubular lucite body coils upward in Albrizzi's signature serpent form, terminating in a finely detailed cast brass snake head with a small brass tail tip. The snake sculpture holds personal significance in Albrizzi's design canon: the Baron grew up in the family palazzo in Venice, where bronze snake hardware on the garden doors inspired his celebrated "nest of snakes" series, which became one of his most recognized and collected designs. Albrizzi's work is held in private and estate collections internationally and appears regularly at major design auction houses. A quintessential piece of Italian MCM design. See less
