Description from the seller

Set of 4 Decorative Grape Clusters in Semi-Precious Stones and Metal – 20th Century.

Lot consisting of four vintage decorative grape clusters, manufactured in the second half of the 20th century. Each piece consists of polished beads of natural minerals, organically faceted and meticulously affixed by a wire-wrapped framework to a central stem. The upper ends are finished with ornamental foliage in chased metal (brass or silvered metal with a vintage patina), simulating natural grapevines.
The lot includes specimens of exceptional dimensions and weights, with emphasis on the volume of the piece in Amethyst:

1. Amethyst Cluster: Translucent purplish quartz crystals with natural tonal variations.
• Dimensions: 27 cm (length) | Weight: 1.7 kg
2. Carnelian Jasper Cluster (Carnelian): Beads in warm tones of carnelian and jasper, with brownish and orange vitreous matrices.
• Dimensions: 23 cm (length) | Weight: 1.0 kg
3. Rose Quartz Cluster: Polished minerals in pale pink translucent shade.
• Dimensions: 17 cm (length) | Weight: 700 g
4. Sodalite Cluster: Beads of dense dark blue mineral with typical white veining and intrusions.
• Dimensions: 17 cm (length) | Weight: 500 g
• Total Weight of Lot: 3.9 kg.

Overall good condition, showing slight natural patina and normal signs of use on the decorative metal. No missing stones.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces. ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time. Thank you very much
