About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian fragment base mounted with agatized coral on a polished agate base. The 18th century hand-carved fragment base is originally from Tuscany. The polished agate coral coordinates with the 18th century fragment in texture and color. Agate coral is Florida's state stone and is known for its unique formation that can take place over 20 million years. It's a natural gemstone that is created when coral is gradually replaced with agate. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and founder of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment base is originally 18th century. The Italian artifact, agate coral, and agate slab are put together in a sculptural form - creating a piece that appears to have evolved together over time.
