This gorgeous celestial starburst has been in my collection for about 15 years. Rather than have her hidden in my storage (as space is at a premium when your house is your showroom)!, I have decided to re home her. These pieces are seriously hard to come by (think hens teeth) and I think this example is particularly charming.

This Italian starburst would have graced the altar of a church with a statue of the Madonna displayed beneath and behind. The central panel of putti and clouds is comprised of plaster, and the celestial rays are gilded metal. A real statement piece to treat as an art work that would work well in a traditional or a more contemporary interior.
