These ornaments present all the hallmark characteristics of vintage Italian A. Santini alabaster figurines. Sculpted primarily in the mid-to-late 20th century, these specific pieces closely replicate Santini’s signature artistic style.
True to Santini production, they feature a composite of crushed Italian alabaster stone and resin. This mixture delivers the heavy weight, cool feel, and dense, stone-like texture of solid marble, but allows for far higher casting precision.
The creamy white base features an authentic, factory-applied antique wash. This brown-toned patina pools inside the recessed valleys of the mould to give the birds an aged, historical look.
Santini frequently produced these birds as a mirrored or matching pair, commonly representing lovebirds or doves of peace.
The carving is deeply pronounced, defined by tight, overlapping feather layers along the flanks and distinctively scalloped ridges across the wings.
The figurines showcase the signature Santini avian posture—short, integrated legs resting flat against the base, compact tucked wings, and small, soft facial structures.
The pair is in good vintage condition with no damages noted.
