Themed collection - 3x RARE Vintage Owl Sculptures in...

Bring into your home the magic of a timeless work of art and the magnetic allure of a millennial symbol. This splendid collection of vintage alabaster and onyx owls handmade in Italy features on the base the original gold and red label "Genuine Italian Alabaster - Made in Italy", certifying authenticity and the provenance from one of the world's most prestigious artisanal traditions (the historic Tuscan workshop of Volterra). These sculptures are not mere decorative objects, but true miniature masterpieces that combine the craftsmanship of the 60s/70s with a natural stone of unique charm. Alabaster is a living stone, famous since antiquity for its extraordinary translucence and visual softness. Each owl has been hand carved: the warm hues ranging from amber to cream, up to the deep veins of onyx, make each sculpture a unique and unrepeatable piece. No two owls are alike. The features are enhanced by touches of artisanal painting that frame large and magnetically glass eyes, capable of giving life and extraordinary expressiveness to each figure. The owl has always been a totemic animal rich in deep meanings. Giving or collecting these splendid creatures means surrounding yourself with positive energies: • Wisdom and Knowledge: Since ancient Greece, the owl has been the faithful companion of the goddess Athena, a symbol of intuition, intelligence, and the ability to see beyond appearances. • Protection and Good Luck: In folk tradition, the owl is a powerful lucky charm that watches over the home and keeps negativity away. • Refinement for Collector: Perfect as a high-class paperweight for a important desk, or as decorative accents on a vintage bookshelf, these three owls create a corner of pure retro elegance. Don't miss the chance to acquire a rare triptych, which holds in itself the history of Italian craftsmanship and the charm of mystery. Perfect for demanding collectors or as a gift of immense symbolic value. Only one owl bears the label on the bottom.
