Italian Etched Travertine and Steel Floor Sculpture

About the Item

An extraordinary piece that captures the essence of Italian artistry from the 1970s: a stunning travertine and steel floor sculpture, reminiscent of the avant-garde works of Nerone Ceccarelli and Giancarlo Patuzzi. This monumental creation showcases a single, imposing slab of travertine, meticulously etched / engraved both vertically and horizontally, resulting in a richly textured surface that evokes a rugged landscape. Every detail, every line, every crevice comes alive, especially when kissed by sunlight, casting deep, entrancing shadows that accentuate the valleys within the stone and create a dynamic play of light and dark. This captivating design isn't restricted to a single view; it's beautifully present on both sides, ensuring it captures the admiration and intrigue from every angle. The travertine, with its impressive 1.5" thickness and measurements of 15.5" W x 49.75" H, is expertly mounted on a robust, black painted steel base. This base, measuring 19.75" W x 17.75" D, not only provides stability but adds to the sculpture's modern aesthetic, serving as a perfect contrast to the natural hues and textures of the travertine. This isn't just a sculpture; it's a statement, a conversation piece, and a testament to a time when Italian artists like Ceccarelli and Patuzzi pushed the boundaries of conventional design. Whether placed in a grand foyer, a curated art room, or amidst a minimalist living space, this travertine masterpiece promises to be the center of attention, a beacon of refined taste, and a piece of history that you'd be proud to own.
