Stylized sculpture in the shape of a seagull carved by hand in red travertine. The Red Travertine Marble is a limestone sedimentary rock. It looks like a uniform material. The dominant color of the Red Travertine is cream, very light, with limited red shades that highlight the delicate streaks. The beautiful red in its background is crossed by some brown shades that appear more or less blurry depending on the block extracted.

Travertine, with a color that varies from white to walnut, from yellow to red, is characterized above all by its high compactness, ductility and resistance.

The table sculptures assert themselves as a refined choice of furniture.

Thanks to its unique color shades it is perfectly suited to the combination from antique to modern.

Material

Màrmaros, in ancient Greek means “shining stone” and marble is in fact a metamorphic stone capable of reflecting light, in different ways, resulting in a clear and translucent effect, according to an effect defined as “wax”. This ability to react to different lighting conditions derives from the singular composition of this rock.
Marble is mainly composed of calcium carbonate and is formed through a metamorphic process that occurs between sedimentary rocks, limestone and dolomite, which in turn causes a complete recrystallization of calcium carbonate and gives rise to an infinity of crystals of calcite or dolomite.

Travertine marble is another marble excellence with which, for example, the Romans built one of the most famous monuments in the world: the Colosseum.
The beauty and value of this material make it still widely used in the creation of contemporary architectural works.

The shape of the sculpture is the seagull, a symbol of freedom, of eternal free time to be able to enjoy freedom, without any worries. It is the totem of those who wish to have free time to do nothing but enjoy the freedom and contemplate the infinite horizon.

Any imperfections and differences with the image are to be considered a guarantee of the uniqueness of the object and of the material.

Elegant and valuable, it has a remarkable resistance and is easy to clean thanks to its surface capable of limiting the absorption of dirt and humidity.
