Description

This striking sculptural piece is a masterwork of Venetian artistry, designed by the renowned Livio Seguso of Murano, Italy. Featuring a pair of birds gracefully perched upon an organic, bifurcated base, the sculpture utilizes the sophisticated Sommerso technique to create a layered internal color effect. The interaction between the translucent smoke glass and the opaque white interiors creates a dramatic, high-contrast aesthetic that emphasizes the fluid, Modernist lines of the avian forms. Livio Seguso is celebrated for bridging the gap between traditional Murano craftsmanship and contemporary fine art, and this substantial piece serves as a brilliant testament to that legacy. It is an ideal statement piece for an executive desk, a grand mantel, or a curated gallery shelf. Measuring 12.75" wide, 5.5" deep, and 18.75" tall, this work offers an impressive vertical presence that captures and refracts light with sculptural grace. It remains in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface scuffs to the underside of the base and a soft, authentic patina consistent with its age and history. These subtle traces of time are quintessential for high-end vintage glass and only serve to enhance its storied character. Complete with the original factory label and etched signature, this is a rare find for discerning collectors of fine Italian design. We invite you to add this masterfully crafted Murano sculpture to your collection today.
