Objects & Artifacts

Decorative objects and artefacts at De Ferranti may take the form of a plinth, a screen, a prized object, a bead head, a lamp, a candelabra, a light sconce, a chandelier or a door handle. Whether it is a special commission or one of our existing products, De Ferranti's Objects & Artifacts collections are made from precious and semi-precious materials, carved, sculpted, inlaid, overlaid, bejewelled, encrusted or veneered. In essence, any of our artistic skillsets can be used to create objects of your desire.

Decorative Objects and Artefacts as Collectible Design

The collection brings together sculptural vessels, candle holders, door furniture, lighting elements and singular pieces whose character comes from material as much as form. Rock crystal, marble, agate, lapis lazuli, mother of pearl and other specialist materials allow each object to be considered at close range, where carving, relief, inlay and surface detail become central to the design. For clients drawn to mineral clarity and natural inclusions, De Ferranti's Rock Crystal collection offers a related material reference.

Materials, Craft and Commissioning

These decorative objects and artefacts sit within the wider Objects of Desire & Curiosities collection, which treats functional and non-functional pieces as opportunities for specialist making. Related traditions can also be explored through Pietre Dure / Pierre Dure, where precisely cut hardstones create pictorial and ornamental compositions, and Semi-Precious Stone Mosaics, where colour, veining and mineral variation become part of the surface language.

For an interior designer, architect or private collector, specification begins with the object itself: scale, intended position, viewing distance, surrounding finishes and the relationship between material and light. Where a piece is being commissioned, drawings, samples and material references can help establish proportion, colour and decorative technique before production. Decorative objects and artefacts can therefore function as focal pieces, intimate details or integrated elements within a larger interior scheme.
