This superb decorative piece rests on a metal pedestal and reproduces in bronze a detail of the marble sculptural group entitled Laocoon and His Sons, displayed at the Vatican Museums in Rome. This piece is shaped as a mask and portraits the face of the main character, a Trojan high priest, as two sea serpents, sent by Poseidon, emerge from the waters to kill him and his two sons as a punishment for having warned his people of the trick of the Trojan horse. Exquisite details and a superb rendition of the expressions of sufferance on this face create a magnificent effect.

Villari is a iconic Italian luxury brand, a significant player in the interior design field that has a long-standing history as a trusted brand.
An iconic Made in Italy brand, Villari has continued, for more than 50 years, to reinvent porcelain, a poetic and refined material with ancient charm but capable of interpreting the most contemporary trends, giving life to precious artifacts betweenart and design.
Founded in 1967 by Cesare and Silvia Villari, in Solagna (VI), who are now joined by their two daughters Alessandra and Barbara and their son Leone, the company works with expertise and creative daring, making collections that range from amore classic taste, which are inscribed in the great tradition of Capodimonte, to the most recent contemporary design projects, such as the "Home Couture" collection, which also open up to experimentation with different materials: no longer only porcelainbut also Murano glass, metal, leather. A choice that marks the entry of Villari products into the most contemporary interior projects and the company's desire to address an increasingly broad audience.
Among the most recent proposals, Villari presented "Golden Age," an eclectic, at times ironic collection of decorative objects, accessories and complements for the home, the result of collaboration with a parterre of international creatives.
