Description from the seller
Vintage Desk Set in Onyx and Alabaster with Cigarette Case – Italy, 1950s/60s
Splendid and refined vintage desk set in natural stone, an excellent example of Italian craftsmanship from the mid-20th century. The lot includes two coordinated pieces that stand out for the elegance of the materials and the timeless Mid-Century style.
1- Desk Pen/Inkpot Set: Made in honey-colored semi-transparent onyx/alabaster. Features a base with channel-shaped grooves, a fixed plastic pen holder that accommodates the coordinated era pen (non-working and decorative), and a central box with a lid depicting a pipe and cigarettes.
2- Coordinated Cigarette Box / Jewelry Box: Entirely made in striped onyx in warm amber and burnt brown tones, equipped with a sturdy brass piano hinge.
Dimensions and Measurements (Approximate) Inkpot/pen holder base: Length: 23 cm, Depth: 16 cm, Height at base: 3 cm (maximum height including the pen: about 18-20 cm)
Brown cigarette box: Length: 15 cm, Depth: 9 cm, Height: 5.5 cm
The objects show normal, light signs of aging that attest to their authenticity and period. The stone is intact, polished, and free of significant cracking or fractures. The fixed pen holder is firmly attached. The lid and the brass hinge of the brown box are perfectly stable and functional. Please carefully view the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description."
