Has anyone seen this beautiful sculpture clock before? Both horses are signed A. Giannelli 1991.

We've been able to find materials on Giannelli himself and many other horse pieces from his factory in Italy but not this specific piece.

We recently sold a wonderful gold Victorian mother of pearl parasol handle. We learned from the buyer's review that they're going to reuse it and give it a new life as an umbrella handle.

We do this to save special items from the landfill and the melt pile to create joy in the future.
