In dimly-lit corners and above fireplaces the bees glimmer darkly and pull you in. Glistening honeycomb will also be available for arrangements.

With great respect for its tradition, we are evolving a new generation of scagliola craftsmanship using fresh, bold and innovative techniques. All aspects of design and manufacture are developed in-house, with each creation worked by hand from first inspiration to completed piece. https://www.fourcrowns.co.uk/online-shop daily 0.75 2022-03-09 https://www.fourcrowns.co.uk/online-shop/p/2s9wspbhvlsnxv5vuoz4457q008ayi monthly 0.5 2020-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb39c38d4c51240f1097ee0/1606145341814-DVYGL6CFW0WU4DVA15S8/IMG_9325.jpg Online Shop -

A large bronze coin is embedded in the scagliola, with the motto EX BELLO PAX - ‘Peace from War.’ This piece is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional Renaissance emblem, which depicted an old knight's jousting helmet that had become a beehive. The hive and the bee have always been used as a symbol of peaceful cooperation, concord and industry. The brass shell casings, objects used explicitly and exclusively for war, have been given a peaceful purpose by being turned into a productive honeycomb.

The inscription is one of the sayings of The Seven Sages of Athens and occurs ubiquitously in Ancient Greek culture and through all civilisations. "...those maxims which are on every tongue—'Know Thyself' and 'Nothing Overmuch.' To what intent do I say this? To show how the ancient philosophy had this style of laconic brevity...it is hard to be good."-Plato, Protagoras SP002. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb39c38d4c51240f1097ee0/1605982234371-9KKP7ELEJTB0JY1KUADF/Four+Crowns+-+Nel+Fuoco+%28Website%29.png Collections - The Emblem Collection - nel fuoco vivo SCAGLIOLA & gilt-Bronze. 166.5x52.5x6cm The inscription NEL FVOCO VIVO, ‘I Live in the Flames,’ comes from an emblem implying that the spirit should be tempered by, and not consumed by, the fire. Salamanders, first mentioned by Pliny the Elder, were thought to be spontaneously generated by fire, on account of their sudden appearance from damp logs thrown into the hearth. During the Renaissance, the salamander's natural history was interwoven into folklore by artists such as Da Vinci, who once said "the salamander, renewing its scaly skin in the fire, for virtue." With the image of the blazing salamander and its symbolism in mind, this panel was created to be displayed above a fireplace. In gilt-bronze, it will attract any available light and will glow in the dark, embodying the emblem's meaning. SP001.
