Hand-carved in Italy, with each bouquet consisting of fruit clusters and a separately carved base, the limestone has a gray hue with areas of cream and white. The robust collection of fruits is accompanied by various flowers and leaves, with a series of scrolls for added aesthetics. A highly fluted pedestal embellished with additional scrolls supports each bouquet, aided by a square plinth beneath. Our pair of Italian fruit bouquets would make fantastic garden ornaments or interior decorative accessories. They could also be mounted atop pillars, flanking a drive or walkway. less
