Side Table Rombi
Ceramica Bevilacqua
A Sicilian side table, cut like a gem. Hand-painted in Campofranco, each facet catches the light differently - a harlequin of cobalt, cerulean, and teal (or crimson, rust, and rose), brushwork visible, no two panels the same.

about the workshop
Ceramica Bevilacqua is a family workshop in Campofranco, a small village in central Sicily well off the tourist path. The workshop is run by two brothers, Antonio and Giuseppe, their wives Mariangela and Lorena, and Antonio's daughter Chiara. There are no other employees. Every piece that leaves Campofranco has been shaped, glazed, and painted by one of five pairs of hands.
Sicilian maiolica is a tradition more than a thousand years old, carried to the island by ninth-century Arab potters and shaped since by Norman, Spanish, and Italian hands. Bevilacqua's ceramics are painted directly onto raw tin glaze with mineral oxides - a process that allows no correction. What the painter paints is what the fire fixes forever. The Leopard imports their work directly from the workshop; it is available nowhere else in Australia.
