 The "flowers and fruits" style responds to the naturalistic romantic trend of mid-19th century fashion, continuing with small variations until the Art Nouveau era. Sciacca coral was often used, available at the time at reasonable prices and in large quantities. The technique with small flowers, leaves and flowers also made it possible to exploit the smallest pieces of coral. These small coral bouquets are composed of small elements, hand-made in series, they are fixed to very thin gold pins, which were welded together. Overall good condition. Small shortcomings.

A sculpture - amulet with two dolphins. 19th century
Located in Firenze, IT
A coral sculpture - amulet with two dolphins, fruits and leaves, symbols of abundance and life. Nineteenth century. Weight 17gr Created from a single sprig of coral, carved, engraved and polished.
