Description
Mid-century modern fish form carved from Rosa Portogallo marble. The design features flowing, organic contours and pierced negative space, creating a dynamic yet subtle, abstract interpretation of a fish that reads as both figurative and sculptural.
The marble displays warm blush and rose hues with natural white veining throughout, consistent with Rosa Portogallo-type marble commonly used in European decorative sculpture during the mid-20th century, and evocative of natural coral. The polished surface enhances the stone's movement and depth, while the fully dimensional form allows the piece to be appreciated from every angle.
A striking and substantial decorative object, weighing over 10lbs, well suited for display on a console, bookshelf, or pedestal. Ideal for mid-century modern, organic modern, and coastal interiors.
The underside is finished with a felt base for surface protection.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Excellent vintage condition. Natural variations in the stone consistent with marble. No cracks or chips
