Natural onyx jewellery box from Italy, dating to the 1960s–1970s, 7 cm high, 17 cm wide, 12 cm deep, with a slightly fractured lid and generally good condition; features a slim gilded metal frame and four gilded feet.
Description from the seller
Elegant onyx jewelry box with refined inserts in gilded metal, an expression of the decorative taste typical of the Art Deco era, where material and geometry blend into an object of great charm.
The sturdy, harmonious structure is made of onyx in warm ivory and honey tones, enriched by natural veins that make each piece unique. The lid, slightly domed, features a suggestive natural marbling that creates a spontaneous painterly effect, almost landscape-like, highlighting the stone's authentic beauty.
The profile is enhanced by a slim band of gilded metal that frames the jewelry box with discreet elegance, while the four molded feet, also gilded, give dynamism and lightness to the piece, lifting the object slightly and granting it a striking stage presence.
Perfect as a decorative element on a desk or a console in sophisticated settings, it also serves as a precious container for small personal items, jewelry, or mementos.
An object that combines functionality and aesthetic value, ideal for collectors and lovers of vintage design and natural materials.
The lid shows a small crack, almost imperceptible to sight but detectable by touch; otherwise, the jewelry box is in good overall condition.
Appropriate packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
