The NFT buyer now has the option of ordering one or both of the following physical sculptures, which will be created by Asprey London Limited:
- a unique sculpture (1 of 1) of a “Bugatti La Voiture Noire “in original silver with 24K gold plated and rose gold plated finish, dimensions 120 x 55cm; and/or
- a unique sculpture (1 of 1) from the “Asprey Bugatti La Voiture Noire Collection” series with black finish, dimensions 120 x 55cm for an additional price to be agreed between Asprey London Limited and the buyer.
The NFT will enable the artwork to link to two physical sculptures in the blockchain, preserving provenance and authenticity.
“NFTs have ushered in the power to prove the provenance of a digital asset, radically transforming what was an alien landscape into familiar territory,” stated Asprey Studio’s Chief Creative Officer Ali Walker.
