Sculptural Quilted Vase in Statuary Marble by Barberini & Gunnell
-
Description
The "Capitonné" Vase by Barberini & Gunnell, hand-carved from statuary marble, is a captivating fusion of timeless craftsmanship and innovative design. Its quilted texture, reminiscent of the luxurious tufted upholstery technique, transforms the natural beauty of marble into a soft, sculptural form, inviting tactile exploration. Each curve of this vase exudes elegance, with its sinuous, organic shape resembling a flower in bloom. The intricate detail of the marble, expertly shaped and polished to perfection, highlights its luminous veining, adding a sense of movement and life to the piece. A limited edition of only 30, this vase is a true testament to the artistry of Barberini & Gunnell, where marble is not just a medium but a canvas for creating sculptural masterpieces. Signed and numbered, each piece is unique, a work of art meant to grace the most sophisticated interiors.
