AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
WORK OF NATURE: Monumental Branch of Red Coral from Alghero (97g)
The Essence:
An exclusive lot for elite collectors, composed of authentic Mediterranean Red Coral (Corallium Rubrum). The absolute centerpiece is a very rare sculptural branch from the historic waters of Alghero (Sardinia).
The Collectible Piece (Sovereign Branch of 50g):
• Weight: 50 grams of precious natural pulp.
• Extraordinary Length: About 20 cm, a measure scarcely found in historic collections.
• Impressive Thickness: A solid trunk varying between 10 mm and 13 mm, maintaining incredible visual impact along its entire length.
• Character: This branch is a historical testament to the Sardinian seas. Its slender form and the deep red color make it a unique display piece, worthy of a private high-level collection or a natural art gallery.
The Rest of the Lot (47g of History):
• Accompanying the main piece are other selected branches, including a second very dense branch of 18 grams, which complete a harmonious and vibrant chromatic ensemble.
