1980’s Figural Large Hand Carved Marble Embracing Couple Sculpture & Slate Tile Pedestal

Magnificent vintage figural large hand carved marble embracing couple sculpture & slate tile covered plywood pedestal. This fabulous piece is signed but we have been unsuccessful in reading the signature or finding the talented artist! Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Slate on base was coming loose from plywood so it was removed and reglued. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1980’s.

Have you ever loved someone so deeply that you can literally feel their soul touching yours? Their presence exists within every beat of your heart, in every breath you take, and in the very blood running through your veins. A love so intense it makes every fiber of your being feel warm, wanted, and alive? An intimacy that only you two understand. Absolute and undeniable physical and emotional attraction… so intwined that you can hear their every thought without speaking a word, feel every touch without a movement, and see every curve of their body with your eyes closed. In their arms you have no imperfections, nothing can hurt you, and you are safe in a way that only they can bestow. They are half of you… and together… You are one. Love like that doesn’t come around very often, so if you are lucky enough to find it… Cherish it!! Anyway, that’s what I see when I view this magnificent figural sculpture. It is comprised of a beautifully hand carved & intricately hand sculpted marble couple wrapped in a passionate embrace. Their bodies are covered with colorful hand drawn markings, possibly to express an interpretation of their intertwined lives or a representation of a love so deep that their blood runs through each other’s veins. That is for you to decide. It has a carved signature but sadly throughout extensive research, we have been unable to identify the highly skilled sculptor that created this masterpiece. We obtained it from a woman that told us an interesting fact that her father bought it in Santa Barbara in the 80’s, but he has since passed away and unfortunately left no documentation. It is solid, heavy, and quite large scale weighing 230 pounds and standing 47 ¾ inches high stabilized by a steel rod upon a gorgeous plywood base encased in black slate tiles with gray grout trimmed edges. It is going to be incredible in your home whether displayed in an entry way, family room, bedroom, or any room that could use a powerful statement you are sure to love for years to come! The actual definition of love is “a strong feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection. A profoundly tender, passionate affection, often mingled with desire, for another person.” Well, we have a strong feeling that you have fallen in love with this phenomenal figural sculpture as much as we have. Don’t let it get away! You simply MUST make it YOURS!!!!
