Astier de Villatte Small Cambridge Shelf | White

Description

Astier de Villatte Astier de Villatte Small Cambridge Shelf | White | The small cambridge shelf from Astier De Villatte is a testament to the parisian brand's spiritual ethos and fascination with folk art and abandoned objects. Votary of pre-industrial fabrication, Astier De Villatte is celebrated for being the one and only studio in paris to hold and harbour the traditions of artisanal ceramic production. Restoring the ancestral systems of moulding and stamping, this shelf is made using handcrafting techniques from the middle ages which involve moulding a handmade sheet of clay, double firing the biscuit' piece and glazing the product in white enamel a lengthy process that involves a drying time of up to one month. Characterised by an ornate silhouette, this shelf is engraved with the brand's signature crest - depicting an interlacing a & v - alongside the initials of one of the 40 master artisans who created it. Each handmade piece tells a beautiful story, it romances and imparts a sense of nostalgia into its owner. Affix to a gallery wall to breathe an air of authenticity into elegant interiors. Please note: artisanal production gives each ceramic object a unique aspect, meaning products may slightly vary. we ask people to produce with a good spirit so the pieces look almost alive.
