Beautifully sculpted from a variety of richly veined onyx, alabaster, and marble, the decorative collection captures the natural beauty of assorted fruits in polished shades of emerald green, celadon, cream, honey, charcoal, and soft ivory. Each piece is uniquely patterned by the natural striations of the stone, giving the ensemble remarkable depth, movement, and individuality.
The assortment includes pears, figs, plums, apples, and other stylized fruits, all realistically shaped and fitted with carved or wooden stem details that enhance their lifelike character. The highly polished surfaces catch the light beautifully, making the group especially striking displayed in a shallow bowl, on a cocktail table, kitchen island, or open shelving.
Both decorative and collectible, these vintage Italian stone fruits embody the refined organic aesthetic popular in mid-century interiors while remaining timeless enough for traditional or contemporary spaces. The set is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and presents beautifully with a rich polished finish throughout. Bowl shown for display purposes only and not included.
