About the Item

Executed in solid Roman travertine, the three abstract creatures evoke stylized serpents or mythological dragons through a beautifully minimal and highly architectural design language. Their powerful curved silhouettes create an elegant rhythmic composition when displayed together, perfectly embodying the refined Italian modernist aesthetic of the period. Each sculpture has been expertly carved from a single block of travertine, showcasing the natural porous texture, warm tonal variations and organic cavities characteristic of this noble stone. The exceptional surface patina acquired over decades gives the set remarkable depth and authenticity. The subtle geometric shaping of the heads and the circular open bodies create a fascinating balance between primitive symbolism and sophisticated modern sculpture. Their graduated dimensions further enhance the dynamic sculptural interaction between the three pieces. Fratelli Mannelli became renowned in post-war Italy for their refined travertine creations and sculptural objects produced in Rome, often combining brutalist materiality with elegant organic forms. Very rare as a complete matching set of three. Largest: 20 W × 20 D × 4 H cm Medium: 15 W × 15 D × 3 H cm Small: 11.5 W × 11.5 D × 2 H cm
