Jewellery box - Onyx - Vintage-Decorative Box

A substantial vintage decorative box carved from solid natural onyx, displaying exceptional multicolour banding in green, honey, blush and warm amber tones. The stone shows beautiful layered translucency with organic veining throughout, framed by elegant gilt brass edging and raised on four decorative paw feet. The hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal the original red felt interior. The felt shows light age-related marks; this can easily be replaced or covered if desired. The onyx itself remains structurally solid, with no instability. This is a heavier, quality piece — far more striking in person than photographs can fully convey, with rich depth of colour and dramatic natural patterning. A refined decorative object suitable for jewellery, keepsakes, or as an accent piece on a desk, console, or dressing table. ⸻ Measurements • Length: approx. 16 cm • Width: approx. 12 cm • Height: approx. 6.5 cm • Weight: approx. 0.46 kg ⸻ Condition Good vintage condition. Light surface wear consistent with age. Interior felt shows minor staining from use. Structure remains solid. Please review all photos carefully — they form part of the description. ⸻ Styling suggestion Beautiful styled on a bedside table, vanity, or writing desk. Also works wonderfully layered with stone objects, brass accents, or minimalist interiors where the natural onyx can become a quiet statement piece. ⸻ Shipping Item will be professionally packed, fully protected, and double boxed. Tracked and insured shipping worldwide. Due to the weight and fragile nature of natural stone, careful packaging is guaranteed.
