White Marble and Rustic Timber Sculptural ...

Mid-20th Century Abstract White Marble and Rustic Timber Sculptural Installation ​ ​Description: ​An exceptional and imposing piece of 20th-century art, this striking installation merges organic form with raw, industrial-historic materials to create a powerful visual statement. ​The Sculpture (Fine Italian Marble): Atop the plinth rests a magnificent, large-scale abstract sculpture hand-carved from solid white marble. Featuring fluid, sweeping contours and biomorphic folds reminiscent of the modernist traditions pioneered in the mid-20th century, the stone displays a fine crystalline grain and subtle natural veining characteristic of high-grade Italian quarry marble (such as Carrara). The interplay of light across its polished, curved surfaces highlights the immense skill required to coax such fluid motion from solid stone. ​The Plinth (Aged Structural Timber & Steel): The sculpture is elevated on a heavy, robust structural timber plinth—crafted from aged, weathered architectural wood with deep grain patterns and a rich, warm patina. The timber provides an arresting textural counterpoint to the smooth, luminous white marble, anchored securely via a concealed internal steel mounting system that gives the sculpture the appearance of effortlessly floating in space. ​Provenance and History: Originally acquired at significant expense (costing several thousand euros), this piece represents a high-end intersection of modernist abstract sculpture and architectural display. It serves as a breathtaking focal point for a grand hallway, living space, architectural interior, or corporate collection. ​Condition Note: Priced at €4,900 to reflect a professional, stable repair executed on one section of the marble sculpture. The repair has been carefully addressed and does not detract from the visual majesty, structural balance, or historical integrity of the piece. Payment cash on collection or bank transfer.
