Bio:
Italian alabaster production has been centred around Volterra in Tuscany since antiquity and experienced renewed popularity in the 20th century. During the Art Deco period, alabaster was often combined with materials such as brass to create a contrast between the soft, translucent stone and metal, resulting in elegant and decorative objects.
