Description from the seller
Vintage decorative set in onyx and metal – Ornamental balance, 3 candle holders and ashtray
Description
Elegant and distinctive lot consisting of 5 vintage decorative pieces, made of precious veined onyx/alabaster in cream, honey and pale green tones, paired with gold- and silver-coloured metal elements.
The main piece is a table ornament—an ornamental balance—featuring a gold-coloured metal framework with a geometric openwork design, two suspended bowls held by chains, and a prominent central veined onyx element. The base is made from the same material, with beautiful natural veining that makes each element unique.
Completing the set are three small decorative candle holders, also made of veined onyx and metal, with elegant curved side handles and scrollwork. The fifth item is a small onyx ashtray/bowl resting on decorative gold-coloured metal feet.
The contrast between the warm onyx tones and the metallic parts gives the whole ensemble a refined, typically decorative appearance, particularly suitable for classical, vintage, Art Deco or eclectic interiors.
Style
Vintage, Art Deco / decorative, with classical influences.
Period
Second half of the XX century, approximate period.
Materials
* Veined onyx/alabaster
* Gold-coloured metal
* Silver-coloured metal
* Metal chains
Approximate dimensions
* Ornamental balance: approximately 40 cm high and about 30 cm wide
* Candle holders: approximately 15 cm high each
* Ashtray/bowl: approximately 14 cm in diameter
Measurements were taken manually and may have a small tolerance.
Condition
Overall good vintage condition, considering age. Normal signs of time, light scratches, small imperfections and patina on the metal parts, consistent with use and age of the objects. The onyx shows natural veining, color variations and minor irregularities inherent to the material.
Please carefully observe all photographs, which are an integral part of the description and show the actual condition of the lot.
A very decorative and original ensemble, ideal for collectors of vintage onyx objects, for classical interiors or as a scenographic element in a display case, on a console, a desk or a table.
