AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ornamental alabaster centerpiece / fountain with birds – 20th century
Striking ornamental centerpiece in carved alabaster, of great elegance and strong visual impact, made during the course of the 20th century. The work stands out for the harmony of proportions and for the quality of the material, a natural alabaster with fascinating veins and inclusions which, when viewed in light, yields an almost translucent effect of great suggestion.
The structure develops on a solid turned base with a square footprint, supporting a wide and well-proportioned bowl, with a finely worked rim featuring stylized motifs. To embellish the composition are four fully carved birds, arranged along the perimeter, each characterized by a vibrant, natural plastic rendering, with precise details in the plumage and postures. The elements are removable, a detail that testifies to an articulated craftsmanship and also allows easier handling and cleaning.
The dimensions are generous and ideal for a feature decorative use: maximum height at the highest point of the birds about 22 cm, diameter of the bowl about 27 cm, while each figure measures about 10 cm. An object that lends itself perfectly both as a high-end centerpieces centerpiece and as an ornamental fountain or interior decorative element, capable of enhancing both classical and contemporary settings.
Overall condition very good. Noted, as visible in the photo, small defects on two beaks and a slight loss on a wing of one of the birds; imperfections that do not compromise in any way the overall harmony or the aesthetic rendering of the whole, being barely perceptible when the piece is placed. Solid structure, healthy and stable alabaster.
A decorative object of great charm, capable of merging matter, light and form into an elegant and timeless composition.
The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packing entrusted to professionals in the field.
