St George and Dragon ornament shell cameo lamp.
The ornament you are looking at is a natural shell entirely hand engraved by one of the most famous cameo engravers of Torre del Greco in Naples: Maestro Giovanni Ventresca.
The patron saint of Genoa, San Giorgio, clearly stands out on it in the iconic act of fighting the dragon. The eternal battle between the leader, who represents good, and the beast, symbol of evil, is the exact reproduction of a stone portal located in front of the Abbey of San Matteo in the alleys of the old city.
In the creation, the peculiarity of the shell was also exploited, and therefore its link with the sea, by placing it on a precious brass support depicting 3 marine creatures (tritons). A light bulb is housed inside: this allows the ornament to also be used as a lamp, and to diffuse a pleasant soft and suffused light throughout the room during the night.
