Description from the seller

Exclusive Set in Natural Onyx: Hand-Carved Vintage Apple and Pear
Elevate your home decor with this refined duo of organic sculptures in authentic onyx. Not mere objects, but true "jewels of the earth" that fuse the solidity of semi-precious stone with the delicacy of natural forms.
The Charm of Authentic Onyx
Onyx is a legendary stone, treasured since ancient times for its translucence and ornamental properties.
Unique Grain: Each piece features a hypnotic play of natural veining. The shades range from golden honey to ivory cream, with warm amber and Siena earth accents.
Unrepeatable Veins: Since mined from natural blocks, no two pieces are identical: by purchasing this set you will own a work of art created by nature over millennia.
Brass Details: The stems in solid brass create a perfect textural contrast with the mirrored shine of the polished stone.
An Icon of Mid-Century Design
These onyx fruits were the protagonists of the most elegant living rooms between the 1950s and 1970s. Today they return boldly to fashion as luxury modernism pieces, able to dialogue with both classic furnishings and minimalist, contemporary interiors.
Style Ideas
On the Desk: As a prestigious paperweight that communicates solidity and taste.
On the Bookshelf: To break the linearity of volumes with soft shapes and warm reflections.
As a Gift: A timeless gesture for someone who appreciates noble materials and outstanding craftsmanship.
Technical Sheet
Material: 100% Natural veined Onyx.
Craft: Hand-carving with a mirror-polished finish.
Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. The stone is integral, crack-free, with its natural luster preserved.
Weight: Solid and substantial (a hallmark of true stone). About 250g each
Apple dimensions: 6x6x6 cm
Pear dimensions: 9x5x5 cm
"Onyx is not just a stone, it is a story of light and time carved in the mineral. Bring a touch of millennial nature into your home."
