The Tall Blue Cornflower is a hand-painted copper flower sculpture that captures the fringed, thistle-like form of this field bloom in a deep navy blue, set high on a single tall stem. Each petal is carefully shaped and painted by hand in the Milan atelier of Elisabetta and Carolina Sonzini, where traditional craftsmanship is expressed through a refined botanical lens.

Created using tôle peinte, an 18th-century French technique of painting on metal, the piece reveals subtle depth and tonal variation through its hand-applied finish. A second, smaller bloom opens lower on a side stem, with an unopened bud and narrow grassy leaves giving the piece a natural, field-grown asymmetry.

Mounted on a simple black wooden base, the Tall Blue Cornflower is designed as a sculptural object - adding height and presence to a console, mantel, or interior setting. A lasting bloom, it reflects a thoughtful approach to material and craftsmanship.

ABOUT the MAKER

Erbavoglio Milano

Tucked away in a Milanese courtyard, the atelier of Elisabetta Sonzini and her daughter Carolina has hand-painted botanical objets d'art for over two decades. What began as a small family workshop has grown into one of Italy's most distinctive names in decorative metalwork, known for turning copper into lifelike flowers and branches. Each bloom and branch is shaped by hand from copper, then painted using tôle peinte, an 18th-century French technique that builds up layers of colour to create depth, patina, and a soft, aged finish. No two pieces are ever quite alike, a mark of the handmade process behind every stem. The collection draws on the natural world, from delicate blossoms to trailing branches, each one designed to bring texture and warmth to a room. These sculptural copper flowers hold their shape and colour indefinitely, offering the beauty of fresh flowers without the upkeep. Well suited to mantels, consoles, dining tables, or any surface that calls for a touch of romance, Erbavoglio Milano pieces make an elegant addition to everyday decor and a considered gift for anyone who appreciates fine Italian craftsmanship.
