Jewellery box – Alabaster (onyx-style), Gilt bronze – Italy – Mid-20th century Elegant Italian jewellery box crafted from warm peach-toned alabaster, often referred to as onyx due to its soft translucency and natural veining. The rounded body is refined with a gilt bronze mount, featuring a decorative acorn finial lid and a richly detailed leaf-shaped base. This type of alabaster work was popular in Italy during the mid-20th century, inspired by classical forms and Grand Tour souvenirs, combining natural stone with ornate metalwork for decorative yet functional objects. The box opens and closes smoothly and is ideal for storing jewellery or small keepsakes. A refined decorative object that works beautifully on a dressing table, console, or in a curated interior. Condition Good vintage condition, with light signs of age and use consistent with time. Natural variations and small inclusions in the alabaster are inherent to the material. Gilt bronze shows minor patina. Material Alabaster (onyx-style), gilt bronze Origin Italy Period Mid-20th century Dimensions Please see photos for scale and details. Shipping Shipping within 1 to 3 business days after payment, securely packaged with track and trace and insurance. Note to US residents, due to extra processing costs of 150 euro plus the increase of tax tariffs on top of the shipping costs, Beau Brocante unfortunately had to raise the shipping costs to cover this. I am really sorry to all my much appreciated US customers. Since this is an auction platform, it's impossible to predict the outcome of the auction and we have to ensure covering costs.
