Armani Finishes Information
Description of Finishes
Armani Sculptures are all created with a cold cast porcelain and are solid (not hollow).
"B" Finish
Is a decorative technique that goes back to the time when craftsmen, with just a few touches of "patina" were able to give surprising depth to the details of a sculpture. Painters at the Florence Sculture d'Arte developed the "B" finish to effect a replication of the "natural" patina of marble sculpture that has, for a period of time, been exposed to all kinds of weather conditions.
"C" Finish
A brilliantly luminous, full-color finish requiring the kinds of painterly skills and sensitivity that are needed to achieve artistic levels which enhance an Armani sculpture.
"E" Finish
The highly decorative coloration of the "E" finish is both charming and delightful. Original patterns and striking mosaic effects make this a most unique finish.
"F" Finish
Uses one color (e.g. white or any of the other restrained tonalities). The flesh tones of the figurine's exposed skin are dominant.
"M" Finish
Is a metallic (bronze) finish covering a select few of Giuseppe Armani/ Florence Sculture d'Arte's sculptures. This elegantly classic bronze finish accentuates and highlights each of these dazzling sculptures.
"P" Finish
Is characterized by the use of delicate, pure-pastel hues. Harsh and/or dramatic color-contrast do not happen here. Instead, colors blend and meld creating a soft and calming effect.
"S" Finish
Is the designation used for the careful observation and focused evaluations of naturalistic color variances guided the selection of this special finish which is difficult to achieve.
"T" Finish
The soil of Tuscany, the "art" region of Italy, abounds in clay. In its raw state, clay is grayish in color. When fired, some clay becomes a warm, brick-red; other clays of the region become a warm, earthy taupe when treated. Clay that has been processed is called "Terra-Cotta"(which in Latin, means "fired earth"). Innumerable works of art have been formed from this terra-cotta. It is believed that only in the medium of terra-cotta can one actually sense the hands of the artist molding his sculpture. This particularly prized material has inspired the "T" finish of Giuseppe Armani and the Florence Sculture d'Arte.
"L" Finish
The Armani Luxury Collection features a finish developed by the artists of Florence Sculture d'Arte to meet the tastes of those people, who are looking for sophisticated, elegant figurines. The special glazed surface gives the sculpture an entirely new life, which in combination with the very delicate pastel colors creates an intriguing harmony, and makes this collection a perfect complement to every contemporary decor.
