This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

Gorgeous Gio! I particularly like the subdued tone on the handle of the standard 8' bullwhip :)

That color is multi-faceted, from different strands and angles it appears very rich.

For these reasons I prefer dyes by hand

This is absolutely beautiful work, Gio! I am impressed, as always.
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Mr. Celeste, thank you very much for sharing those beautiful pictures!
Your attention to each and every detail (like the knots, the hitches, the shape of the fall, the engravings on the ferrule/end of the heel knot and the overall designs) is mindblowing!

All the best
Ben

Thank you Flemming, thank you my friend for let me post these items.
Because Ladies first, the first pics are a belt plaited in 12 strands in diamond pattern.
The second item is a 6ft 16plt gaucho whip.
The handle and the two knots are plaited in gaucho style with a gaucho ring knot.
I hope you like it

I LOVE the two Gaucho (and Gaucho ring knot) at the transition! It is original and differs from most whips! The plaiting is beautiful as always....including the belt!!!

The heel knot and the Gaucho pattern on the handle...... Perfection!

Gio, it is absolutely stunning. To see the natural beauty of the hide along with the craftsmanship... Perfect.
