About

Bring a refined decorative touch to a tabletop or kitchen display with this charming set of sixteen hand-carved stone fruits, crafted in Italy circa 1960. Executed in richly polished alabaster, marble, and onyx, the collection features a beautiful assortment of realistic fruit forms including peaches, apples, figs, pears, plums, citrus, and a banana, each carved with impressive attention to natural shape and proportion.
The warm palette of buttery yellow, cream, honey, blush, and soft caramel tones creates a bright and inviting presentation, while the natural veining and marbling throughout the stone give every piece its own unique character. Several fruits retain carved or wooden stem details, further enhancing their lifelike appearance and artisanal quality. The highly polished surfaces reflect light beautifully, making the grouping especially striking displayed in a shallow bowl, centerpiece arrangement, or open shelving vignette.
Decorative stone fruit collections have long been favored in Italian interiors for their sculptural quality and timeless appeal, and this larger assortment offers wonderful visual impact and versatility for styling. The vintage fruits remain in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a rich polished finish throughout. Bowl shown for display purposes only and not included.
Largest fruit measures: 2.5″W x 2.5″D x 2.75″H
