A refined and collectible pair of vintage Italian fruit sculptures, expertly hand-carved from genuine alabaster.
This elegant set features a pear and an apple, rendered in luminous monochrome white with a soft matte finish that highlights the natural translucency and subtle veining of the stone.
Handcrafted in Italy, these sculptural forms embody the timeless sophistication of classic Italian design and the artisanal tradition of alabaster carving. Their minimalist, pure white organic silhouettes lend themselves beautifully to a variety of interiors—from Postmodern and Organic Modern, to Art Nouveau and eclectic spaces.
Both decorative and functional, these pieces can be styled as paperweights, bookends, or standalone objects of art.
Their understated elegance and sculptural presence make them ideal for collectors of fine decorative objects and mid-century Italian craftsmanship.
Unusual in their uniform white coloration, this pair offers a harmonious, gallery-like aesthetic—perfect as a centerpiece or displayed individually to add a subtle yet distinctive artistic accent.
The base bears an original marking, consistent with age and use: “Genuine Alabaster Hand Carved in Italy.”
Dimensions:
Pear: 3 in W x 3 in D x 4.5 in H,
Apple: 3.5 in Diameter x 3.5 in H,
