This sculptural piece showcases a bold geometric silhouette with a rectangular open center, radiating carved fan details, and dramatic linear metal inlays that create a dynamic crisscross tension across the void.

The marble displays beautiful natural movement in creamy ivory tones layered with grey, taupe, and distinctive violet veining characteristic of Calacatta Viola. The interplay between the smooth polished stone, carved architectural lines, and industrial-style metal rods gives this piece a strong Memphis-era / Postmodern presence.

Mounted on a substantial matching Calacatta Viola marble base with a brass support rod, the sculpture has impressive weight and presence, making it ideal as a statement console piece, pedestal accent, or gallery-style display object.

A true decorative art object that blends Italian craftsmanship with bold 1980’s design language.

Unsigned.
