This pair of highly sculpted limestone fruit bouquets have a remarkable weathered appearance, as the result of a light-mottled patina of black and green lichen. Hand-carved in Italy, with each bouquet consisting of fruit clusters and a separately carved base, the limestone has a gray hue with areas of cream and white. The robust collection of fruits is accompanied by various flowers and leaves, with a series of scrolls for added aesthetics. A highly fluted pedestal embellished with additional scrolls supports each bouquet, aided by a square plinth beneath. Our pair of Italian fruit bouquets would make fantastic garden ornaments or interior decorative accessories. They could also be mounted atop pillars, flanking a drive or walkway.

CONDITION: Very good condition. Intentional distress marks. Restoration to one plinth, which is unseen with the fruit cluster on top (each bouquet was carved in two sections). Limestone is a natural material that can change color with exposure to the elements. Please contact us for photos of the current patina.
