Charming handcrafted decorative box made using the quilling (paperolles) technique, a delicate art consisting of rolling and shaping thin strips of paper to create embossed patterns.
The paper quilling is perfectly recognizable:
-
very finely rolled paper strips,
-
stylized floral motifs (flowers, foliage, small spirals),
-
background entirely filled with regular volutes,
-
soft and harmonious palette (greens, yellows, white, pastel touches).
It is a meticulous and time-consuming work, typical of careful decorative craftsmanship, far from industrial productions.
The floral decoration, composed of stylized flowers, foliage and spirals, is executed with great meticulousness in a harmonious palette of greens, yellows and pastel tones. The entirely worked background testifies to patient and careful craftsmanship.
The black structure, sober and elegant, perfectly highlights the paper decoration. The interior is deliberately uncluttered.
