Proefstuk in de vorm van een gelede stolp van filigrein 1770

A. Storm created this filigree trial piece in the form of a bulbous dome from an unrecorded time and place. Notice how the overall structure is divided into distinct geometric sections that ascend to a truncated peak. The eye is immediately drawn to the contrast between the solid geometric forms and the delicate filigree patterns that adorn each surface. These patterns, composed of swirling tendrils and stylized floral motifs, create a shimmering, almost ethereal effect. The filigree work challenges our perception of solidity. The intricate, lace-like design blurs the line between the object's surface and the surrounding space, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This piece invites us to consider the relationship between structure and surface, and how delicate details can transform a simple form into an object of intricate beauty.
