Three onyx and polished brass amphora-style vases, likely Italian in origin, dating from circa 1960–1970, in excellent vintage condition.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking trio of vintage decorative vases, crafted from beautifully polished natural onyx and gold-toned polished brass.
The three vases vary in size and design, yet together form a beautifully harmonious whole. The combination of soft cream, ivory, and green-tinted onyx with the warm gold color of the brass gives the set a distinctly luxurious appearance.
The large vase is the centerpiece of the collection. It features a wide goblet-shaped upper section, a sturdy brass base, and two richly decorated, elegantly curling handles. The onyx displays a particularly beautiful natural pattern, including a striking reddish-brown vein.
The medium vase has a slimmer silhouette and is characterized by two decorative, dragon- or serpent-like brass handles. The soft green and cream nuances of the natural stone are shown to great advantage here.
The small vase completes the ensemble with its elegant asymmetric form and one richly decorated decorative handle.
The decorative styling closely aligns with the Neoclassical Revival / Hollywood Regency aesthetics that were popular in the latter half of the twentieth century.
