AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Paravia anatomical-botanical model – Trunk of a dicotyledonous plant, secondary structure.
Rare scientific teaching model from the historic Paravia production, depicting in relief the secondary anatomical structure of the trunk of a dicotyledonous plant.
Three-dimensional polychrome model, rich in detail, with representation of the different plant tissues and the original numbered legend in Italian.
Mounted on a wooden-effect board with a surrounding metal frame. The depth of the relief is notable and makes the model particularly dramatic.
Measurements: board about 43 × 37 cm; maximum depth about 11 cm.
Era: presumably the 1950s-1960s of the 20th century.
Materials: wooden support; relief material not identified, presumably pressed cardboard.
Conditions: vintage, with signs of age, wear of the coloring and localized deterioration of the labels. Overall structure well preserved. See the photographs carefully.
The Paravia commercial label, originally with blue background and metallic lettering, has been lost. The attribution to Paravia is nonetheless certain.
Interesting piece for collectors of antique scientific instruments, historical school material, botany, and studio or laboratory furnishing.
