The Egg and Dart neoclassical pattern was originally seen in ancient Greco/Roman architecture. The egg represents life, and the dart death. This series appeared around 1900 and was cast in solid brass. We collected antique pieces and remade the moulds. Each piece is cast one at a time in the finest sand to capture the smallest details. Finishing is done by hand just as it was over a century ago.
