St. George and the Dragon ornament lamp in engraved shell cameo. This extraordinary ornament lamp is made from a natural shell, entirely hand-engraved by Maestro Giovanni Ventresca, one of the most renowned cameo engravers in Torre del Greco, in the province of Naples. The subject depicted is St. George, patron saint of Genoa, immortalized in the heroic act of fighting the dragon, an iconic scene that symbolizes the eternal struggle between good and evil. The engraving is a faithful reproduction of an ancient stone portal located in the alleys of Genoa's old city, opposite the Abbey of St. Matthew.
The seashell, chosen for its connection to the sea, is placed on an elegant brass stand depicting three tritons, giving the composition an additional reminder of the marine world. A light bulb is housed inside the structure, allowing this ornament to also be used as a lamp, diffusing a warm and soft light into the room, ideal for creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere at night.
