Description from the seller
Vintage onyx jewelry box with a gold decorative profile
Elegant vintage jewelry box made from natural onyx in cream, ivory, and honey tones, crossed by delicate brown veining that makes each surface unique.
The form is essential and geometric, with a flat hinged lid and interior lined with the same stone. Along the profile runs a thin **gold decorative edging**, made of synthetic material, which creates a pleasant contrast with the brightness of the onyx and gives the whole piece a refined look.
The natural translucence of the stone especially enhances the item when illuminated, bringing out the different shades and depths of the veining.
Ideal as a jewelry box, desk box, or small decorative container.
Good vintage condition, with normal signs of wear and use. Condition as shown in the photo.

From a land rich in traditions like Italy, and in particular from the vibrant South, I dedicate myself with passion to the search for unique finds, authentic witnesses of a century full of history and innovation.
Every object, whether it is an antique piece of furniture or a rare vintage item, carries with it stories and emotions, evoking memories of a time that continues to inspire.
