About the Item

Museum-grade 1/1 Masterpiece by Blue-chip Artist Michael Verkholantsev. This Unique Couture Silk & Silver Textile Art features 24K Gold Leaf & Ancient Lacquer. High-Value Contemporary Investment Art. Shadow of Leonardo: Michael Verkholantsev Collaboration THE ARTIST: INSTITUTIONAL PRESTIGE & BLUE CHIP INVESTMENT Alexander’s Collection is honored to present "Lovers Under Night Cover," an exclusive collaboration with the acclaimed Academician Michael Verkholantsev. A world-renowned master, Verkholantsev’s works are canonized in the world’s most elite institutions, ensuring long-term provenance and investment value: The State Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg) The Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) The Victoria and Albert Museum (London) The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow) THE ARTISTRY: PRIAPUS REIMAGINED This powerful 1/1 work references the ancient god of fertility, Priapus. In this modern interpretation, the classical "herma" sculpture is reimagined as a contemporary household lamp, symbolizing the blazing fire of love and passion. Verkholantsev’s sophisticated style brings this potent mythological figure into the 21st-century interior, offering a surrealist dialogue between ancient tradition and modern luxury. THE CRAFTSMANSHIP: 24K GOLD, SILVER & MOTHER OF PEARL Couture Embroidery: Hand-applied fine silk interwoven with metallic silver threads, creating a stunning glowing effect and a tactile illusion of chased metal. 24K Gold Leaf: Genuine 24-karat gold leaf plating on the frame adds intense luxury and reflective elegance. The Mother of Pearl Frame: Ebony wood frame utilizing a 2,000-year-old Chinese lacquer technique (20 hand-polished layers) with meticulous Mother of Pearl inlays.
