Inspired by the Renaissance myth of the Philosopher’s Stone, sought in vain by alchemists and scholars for centuries, Leo De Carlo’s Alkemy transforms the tools of the alchemist’s trade into decorative sculpture.
The two oversized stills are handmade of borosilicate glass, then mirrored and oxidized using the ancient technique of silvering. The oval lacquered wooden top, lunar in color, echoes the symbol of the star — a metaphor for human intelligence in search of the absolute.
The alchemist’s quest for knowledge takes physical form in this sculptural work. Customization is available on request.
