Charming set of two vintage Italian travertine sculptures depicting a stylized swan and elephant.
Carved from natural travertine stone, these minimalist animal figures reflect the sculptural aesthetic associated with works attributed to Fratelli Mannelli, known for their elegant mid-century stone carvings produced in Tuscany.
The porous texture and warm beige tones of the travertine highlight the natural beauty of the stone while emphasizing the clean, modern lines of the design.
This decorative duo embodies the spirit of Italian mid-century modern design and makes a refined accent for shelves, desks, or curated interior spaces.
