This Neoclassical 19th-century Italian alabaster sculpture group depicts four putti playing while pushing and pulling a cart, raised on a dark green fluted marble pedestal column. The off-white alabaster group features finely carved putti figures, a wheeled cart, and floral garlands, while the dark green column incorporates mouldings and a faceted base. Measuring 156 cm high, 70 cm wide, and 32 cm deep, the piece works well in an empty corner of a grand room. The sculptural composition is titled 'From the harvest' by Professor A. Petrill of Firenze and rests on a contemporary pedestal with a stepped octagonal foot. The green marble column has a fluted shaft and a polished top surface supporting the off-white figural group. Placed in a home interior today, this work serves as a sculptural focal point.

FAQs

During the 19th century, Italian workshops in regions such as Volterra and Florence produced detailed alabaster carvings depicting classical mythology, putti, and genre scenes, catering to Grand Tour travellers and international collectors.

Sculptors hand-carved soft alabaster mineral blocks using chisels, rasps, and fine polishers, achieving translucent surface qualities before securing the figures onto solid stone or marble bases.

Authentic period pieces exhibit precise hand-carved undercutting, natural translucency when illuminated, fine surface veining, and age-consistent patination within recessed details.

Displaying a stone sculpture on a dedicated pedestal in a foyer or positioning it against a minimalist backdrop allows the classical forms to serve as a architectural focal point.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, keeping the stone dry and away from harsh chemical cleaners or high humidity due to the porous nature of alabaster.
