Horses And Pets
		To Giuseppe Armani animals are magical and mystical, and his animal sculptures provide psychic satisfaction. When asked to explain these beliefs, Giuseppe described how the magical qualities were expressed throughout the ages by the masters, like Michelangelo, Donatello, and Verrocchio, who are three of the best known Italian sculptors, and Tilman Riemenschneider as a stand out among those north of the Alps. Giuseppe Armani is singled out as the first master of modern era with dazzling complexity in his deep perspective reliefs and virtuosity everywhere in his large body of work. There is an anti-Rococo strain that can be detected in Giuseppe Armani's animal sculptures, most vividly represented in his dog sculptures, but also recognizable in the classicizing vein of his horse sculptures. It is a robust style of self-restraint, academically selective of "the best" animals models that are most likely to touch human lives. The high tide of animal sculpture is exemplified by Giuseppe when he chooses to use common, everyday animals as subjects, that everyone can recognize, and transform them into sculptures that express the beauty of nature and the passion of life.

Babies And Flowers

Baby, see the flowers!
— Baby sees
Fairer things than these,
Fairer though they be than dreams of ours.
Baby, hear the birds!
— Baby knows
Better songs than those,
Sweeter though they sound than sweetest words.
Baby, see the moon!
— Baby's eyes Laugh to watch it rise,
Answering light with love and night with noon.
Baby, flower of light,
Sleep, and see
Brighter dreams than we,
Till good day shall smile away good night.

The Rocky Collection
		As its name suggests, this collection gains design inspiration from rocks and the Rocky Mountains. Each piece features deep cuts that form thick pleats in the glass to create a heavy uniform effect not unlike boulders carved from hills and mountains. This substantial set relies on 24% lead crystal and hand finishing. The look is masculine and bold; classic and daring. You don't have to be a mountain man to appreciating the soaring quality of this collection. Buy for yourself or for that special someone.
