AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian vintage carved alabaster jewelry box – mid-20th century
Elegant vintage rectangular box made of natural Italian alabaster, characterized by splendid veining in warm honey, amber and cream tones.
The piece stands out for a refined tactile workmanship: while the lid has a smooth, polished upper surface, the sides of the box and the edges of the lid are finely sculpted with a vertical-groove geometric pattern (shaving/pleating effect) with a strong tactile and visual impact.
The opening is finished with a decorative raised-silver frame, probably made of resinous material with a metallized finish, which creates a pleasant contrast with the warm alabaster tones. Inside there is still the original label “Genuine Alabaster – Hand Carved – Made in Italy,” a very interesting detail that documents Italian production and workmanship.
A decorative object of considerable weight and striking presence, usable as a jewelry box, valet tray, or small collectible casket. Shows normal traces of time compatible with age and use, visible in the photographs.
Measurements: 13.5 × 10 cm – height 6 cm
Weight: about 1.1 kg
