From Mantilla Combs To Living Light
For centuries, Spanish Mantilla combs have ranked among the most elegant expressions of decorative art, admired for their graceful silhouettes, intricate ornamentation, and sculptural beauty. Originally created as personal adornments, they became enduring symbols of artistry, craftsmanship, and refinement.
This collection reimagines these historic forms as illuminated Porcelain Plique-À-Jour™ sconces, presented in both gilded and ungilded interpretations. LED illumination, concealed behind the Porcelain Plique-À-Jour™ panels, awakens the kiln-fused crushed glass frit captured within raised reticulated porcelain cells, causing the translucent panels to shimmer and sparkle with jewel-like brilliance. By uniting porcelain, luminous glass, light, and sculpture, these designs transform a cherished decorative tradition into a new architectural art form—one that carries the timeless elegance of the Mantilla comb into an entirely new era of living light.
