Description
The pineapple is a profound symbol of hospitality and generosity. The fruit's epic journey, from tropical plantations, to European shores made it an extremely precious commodity, elevating it to the highest echelons of social status. Such was its prestige, that wealthy hosts would often display pineapples as elaborate centrepieces at their gatherings, where they served purely as objects of admiration, rather than consumption. These prized fruits would be displayed prominently at social events, their mere presence signifying the host's wealth and sophistication, while guests would marvel at their distinctive form and regal presence.
