Sculptural Group in Mediterranean Red Coral and Ebony Wood, Late XIX Century
Sculptural Group in Mediterranean Red Coral and Ebony Wood, Late XIX Century
An exceptional sculptural group representing the ascension of Christ, it evokes the prestige and artistic mastery of the late nineteenth century, skillfully crafted from precious Mediterranean red coral. The delicate carvings, carved with meticulous attention to detail, reveal the sacred scene vividly and with an unparalleled dynamism that captures the essence of the moment, making each figure almost animated by the natural vibrancy of coral.
The work stands out not only for its extraordinary workmanship but also for the base on which it is placed, a solid piece of ebony wood with a deep black color and coral details. This color contrast not only further enhances the brightness of the coral but gives the sculptural group a solid presence and timeless elegance.
Measuring 20×20 cm with a height of 30 cm and a gross weight of 1400 grams, this sculpture is as imposing as it is refined, ideal to be the focal point of any art collection or luxury furniture. The work, not specifically attributed to an artist but presumably the work of a remarkable talent of the time, remains a silent but eloquent witness to the sculptural art of the nineteenth century.
