Description from the seller
Vintage cylindrical jewelry box in bronze and genuine malachite mosaic. Neoclassical / Hollywood Regency / Mid-Century Modern.
Structure and decorative rings in solid bronze with a patina of time; total coating in textured mosaic and plates of genuine malachite (exterior and interior bottom).
A distinctive and heavy cylindrical jewelry box, built with a robust bronze frame. The exterior and the interior bottom are entirely inlaid with authentic malachite, displaying its natural geometric patterns, concentric veining, and varying shades ranging from vibrant emerald green to a deep green, almost black. The body simulates horizontal bands delineated by bronze rims that exhibit rich oxidation and original patina. The hollow bronze interior with a noble polished stone base makes this piece a refined and timeless collectible.
Excellent vintage condition. The bronze shows wear and patina consistent with age. The malachite is well preserved, maintaining polish and structural integrity.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
