Item Description
The legendary gallery of Ireko brings us this glazed terracotta Italian rooster (approximately 14 inches long), which will be a fabulous accessory for your home. Its whitewashed glazed finish give the piece a musem qualitiy tone that will emanate luxury and style from its appointed place in the Wine Country home seeking perfection of appointment. The substantial rooster is actually two separate pieces, so that a secret treasure can be hidden invisibly inside.
Founded in 1985 by James Rascoe and Michael Webb, Ireko began as a 700 sq. ft. flower shop in a 1940’s bungalow in Downtown Santa Rosa. Initially, the partners designed and constructed dramatic floral environments for private and professional events. The end results were show stopping, and before long, Rascoe and Webb were enlisted to apply their vision to residential interior design.
Soon the partners became known for their ability to reinterpret the art and objects they collected into interiors rendered wonderfully unique thanks to the unexpected juxtaposition of the objects placed within them. In fact, the name "Ireko" comes from a classical concept in Japanese culture that suggests placing something small into something larger. The Ireko concept also extends to architecture with consideration to how different layers of an environment interact with one another.
Today, having grown from the original Santa Rosa bungalow to a larger showroom, and now to a still-larger space in a historic building on 4th Street in downtown Santa Rosa, Ireko is one of Northern California’s premier design galleries merging antiques with contemporary yet classic styling. In addition, Ireko’s extensive research library offers resources for all manner of custom design, including architectural design and detailing, remodeling, custom furniture, bedding, drapery, lighting and accessories.
