This assorted collection of 8 vintage Italian marble fruits is a striking example of mid-20th century craftsmanship from Italy. The set features a wide variety of fruits including a walnut, persimmon, apples, pears, and more.
They are individually hand-sculpted from a single piece of fine marble. After carving, they were hand-painted with natural pigments and finished with a beeswax coating, giving them a subtle sheen and remarkable lifelike quality. The artistry is so convincing that the limes appear almost indistinguishable from real fruit, making them both a decorative conversation piece and a collectible item.
Each piece is unique, showcasing individual variations in carving and painting. Vintage Italian marble fruit sculptures like these are highly sought after for their beauty, craftsmanship, and connection to the rich artistic heritage of Carrara marble.
