A nice and pleasant trio of travertine swans in three different sizes; they can be used on the desk as paperweights or business card holders, or placed on a piece of furniture they become pretty and original ornaments; they were designed in the minimalist style of Enzo Mari and Angelo Mangiarotti and produced between 1970 and 1973 by F. lli Mannelli Rapolano (Siena-Italy), the most important company that, with its centuries-old quarries, works and represents, at the highest levels, the tradition in the treatment of this extraordinary and prestigious material. They were designed in the minimalist style of Enzo Mari and Angelo Mangiarotti and produced between 1970 and 1973 by F. lli Mannelli of Rapolano (Siena-Italy), the most important company that, with its centuries-old quarries, works and represents, at the highest level, the tradition in the treatment of this extraordinary and prestigious material: Tuscan travertine, synonymous with charm, elegance, simplicity and versatility that ennobles the art of building. Travertine has been quarried since Etruscan times in the Rapolano basin in the heart of the Crete Senesi area, and is a part of history to make history. Indeed, this limestone, with its balance between flexibility and rigidity, has enabled and continues to enable the creativity of architects and designers such as Mannelli to create creations of absolute value. Rapolano stone, as a building material, has been used in many palaces and even historic buildings in the Siena area. The Torre del Mangia in Piazza Del Campo, the headquarters of Monte dei Paschi founded in 1472 in Siena, are some striking examples. But the whole city of Siena is largely made of Pietra di Rapolano. In addition to the preciousness of the stone, our pretty swans have a contemporary design, not too heavy but essential, a unique piece of furniture, refined and elegant at the same time. They are in good condition, what may seem to be anomalies are only characteristics due to the natural geological composition of travertine.
