Pair of Highly Sculpted and Weathered Limestone Fruit Bouquets from Italy
About the Item
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.

Carved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.
