Rectangular tile cm 36 x 18 series the musicians the Harpsichord

Description

Rectangular tile, commonly called pianella - the brick usually used to pave rural structures typical of the Tuscan countryside. Tuscan terracotta, especially from the Impruneta area, is highly appreciated and known for its waterproof characteristics and resistance to low temperatures, as well as its beautiful terracotta shades; makes it unique, recognizable and highly sought after. We use this suffix, with its irregularities, veins, at first glance imperfections of handmade terracotta; to create artefacts with classic decorations, which come from distant times and places; but it is precisely thanks to these irregularities that our products take on a worn, lived-in appearance that smells of antiquity; these imperfections are like scars that make every single product unique and unrepeatable. The series of bricks dedicated to musicians is a representation of ancient musical instruments that were commonly used during banquets or to celebrate religious and pagan festivals. Many of the tools listed here are no longer in use today, but have been replaced by other tools. We dedicate this series to music, and the tools used to make it accessible; hoping to be able to contribute to keeping alive the memory of instruments that have fallen into disuse.
