Sculpture/trinket tray in burl wood, Italy, 1970s

Jean-Charles Ribes

Description

A very surprising Italian sculpture made of olive burl

Hollowed out to serve as nesting containers that can be used as catch-alls, display stands for peanuts, sweets, dried flowers or other items…

Unique piece, signed, dated 1971

A poetic and functional creation stemming from 1970s Italian design, this striking burl wood sculpture captivates with its organic quality and the natural richness of its material. Crafted from a burl with exceptional mottled grain, the piece has been meticulously hollowed out to form a set of nestable and modular containers.

Alternately a table sculpture, a refined catchall or an elegant display stand for small precious objects, this unique signed and dated piece embodies the perfect marriage between the craftsmanship of mineral art and the warmth of noble wood.

Its raw yet sophisticated aesthetic will bring a touch of natural originality and a high-end vintage feel to a sideboard, coffee table, or collector's desk…
